Because the OP said they don’t want a large school like HYS. Maybe go f**k off now. |

Would add Union to this list. Marquette is mid sized and Hopkins. You’ll have more options in the mid sized tier. |

No, it depends on OP’s kid. But OP presumably knows her kid and how anxiety impacts him. My anxious but not socially anxious kid will do best in a small school I think, but being near the top academically will be equally important so we won’t be looking at elite schools. |

| Olin is worth a look for sure. And Haverford has joint program with Penn as noted above. Though you start taking classes at penn jr year, you stay with your Haverford class junior/sr year and then do a year at Penn, so not discotheque way 3/2 engineering programs are. |

Maybe a dual degree with space and washing? 3-2 dual degree program.

| If a small school says they have engineering as a major, look up The Common Data Set and see just how many students they actually graduate in the major. Good approach for any major. |

Which section of the CDS has number of graduates by major? I haven't seen that. |

Not sure about CDS, but you can get graduates by major in College Navigator.

| Bucknell is probably the best. |

| I would not do a combined degree program. They are fine for kids who change their mind to engineering but if he knows he wants engineering he should pick a school where he can stay |
