Options for Tech/Math/Business student — am I getting this right?

+1 to Rochester, also Villanova and Michigan. University of Southern California is also good in all three disciplines but it has gotten very hard to get into. It might be helpful to decide between math/business/engineering since it gets a bit tricky transferring between schools at some universities. DC applied to both schools for arts and sciences (physics/math) and for engineering and the admits from the arts and sciences side were the more highly ranked schools. But, I don't think rankings matter as much when it comes to engineering.

Where rankings matter for engineering is your backup plan.

FYI Cal State SLO has an awesome engineering school. Not where I would want my kid to be if he had to transfer into the general population.
