UMD - in state but Spring admit w/o engineering
NC state with honors and engineering
VA Tech- engineering

We have one in college already so paying out of state would be difficult, but we could do it

I think it's much harder to get into Clark if not admitted.
Which of NC State and VT are cheaper? Both great.

Thanks!

Not my area of expertise at all but seems hard to beat VA Tech esp if in state?

Not in state for Virginia. Aid of merit at all of these so cost is pretty similar across the board. Thanks all, as I am not an engineer!

Cal Poly SLO really appealed to me for my engineer, but she decided against west coast. Collaborative and great program.

Air Force ROTC hssp type 1. Tuition/fees covered at any school.

Please suggest where my kid will enjoy/learn gain most from the college experience. Thanks!

Some good options. Northwestern would be a great choice. But for ROTC, it might be a better experience down south. Don't underestimate how miserable PT is at 5:30 in the morning with a cold wind blowing off Lake Michigan.

Georgia Tech might be a better option. Terrific STEM school. And generally, the South is very warm to students in uniform.

But definitely account for the ROTC angle when choosing the school. It's going to be a big part of their college experience.

This is a nice problem to have.

Williams will have the weakest Math/Applied Math program. Would choose Rice or Cornell over the UCs. Both UCLA and Berkeley have classes with more than 1500 students. They're fine for grad school, but undergrads are just cogs in the machine. Much better educational experience at Rice or Cornell.

Not true.

Williams College is strong, ranked as the 21st best undergraduate math program among US colleges and universities. Williams College is the highest ranked LAC for math followed by #23 Amherst College, then #35 Swarthmore College.

According to collegefactual, these are the best UNDERGRADUATE math programs in the US:

https://collegefactual.com/majors/mathematics...d/bachelors-degrees/

1) MIT
2) U Chicago
3) Cornell
4) Vanderbilt
5) Johns Hopkins U.

6) Dartmouth College
7) Notre Dame
8) Carnegie Mellon u. (CMU)
9) Brown
10) Harvard

11) WashUStL
12) Northwestern
13) U Michigan
14) Columbia
15) UCLA

16) Wisconsin
17) NYU
18) UCal-Berkeley
19) Virginia
20) Boston College

21) Williams College
22) U Maryland
23) Amherst College
24) Emory
25) Villanova

Then, in order, RPI, SMU, UNC, N'eastern-Boston, U Rochester, Georgetown, Boston University, U Washington-Seattle, Illinois, and then at #35 Swarthmore (the third highest ranked LAC).

Oberlin has no honors college.

Any merit at the private/out of state ones?

I really liked Roanoke. If you want small and nurturing, that's the answer.

If your kid will be fine in a big environment, I'd say let them pick their favorite.

Roanoke gave him $28K a year.

He prefers the size of CNU. He toured GMU and some of the IT classes were 400+ students.

DD with ADHD- undecided major but leaning toward business (and applied as a business major). Wants big football but also good support services. We want lower cost and support services.

Clemson- good support, no merit
Michigan State- unsure, 15000 merit
Indiana- unsure, 8000 merit
Ohio State- decent services, no merit
Miami of Ohio- good support, 24000 merit
Arizona- top support (SALT), 20000 merit
Penn State- unsure, no merit
Towson- good support, in state, 3000 merit

Easy to get lost at big schools without good support. I think that should take priority.
