Your thoughts please on this list of colleges for computer engineering

I would put Seattle U as a likely, Gonzaga as a target, RIT and Santa Clara as high match/ low reach based on the major and what we see locally (Seattle) however you may have better data for Santa Clara for the major and your HS. Seattle U will likely also be the most generous as far as merit goes for the Jesuit/Catholic options and has a really nice year long research project senior year that is very co-op like.

I do not think you’ll be able to get Santa Clara under 50k, not sure about U Denver. You may want to consider Drexel as a target if you like co-op as an option. The CS department at UPS is very very small, it is a truly lovely LAC but it came off our list for that reason. It does not offer engineering so may not give the flexibility you’d want. If you are open to a bigger school, Colorado State (CSU) has a very solid CS and Engineering program, it’s WUE and I’d think the honors college could be an option.

Bradely is a bit of an outlier to me for your list. It gets great (self promoted) press and always sounds good on paper to me, but I don’t know I’ve heard from actual students or alumni. It would be a significant climate and culture change from NorCal compared to most on your list. They are quite generous though.
