| If you are looking for smaller schools, I'd add Clarkson to the list. |

According to the thing's own style guide, for second references in-state audiences it's "U. of I." https://brand.illinois.edu/messaging/name-and-boilerplate So I propose that one per thread the first person to mention the thing use the full University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. For subsequent references posters who believe their audience is primarily in state or alumni may chose among the following: Illinois U. of I. (Note the two periods!!) Urbana the Urbana campus the thing Those who believe their audience not to be in state or alumni may chose to use UIUC as long as there's a nearby reference to Illinois. But wait! Looks like the thing's other style guide doesn't use periods for "U of I" -- so, anything goes? LOL. https://cam.illinois.edu/policies/apr-29/ |

By starting salary (number is overall rank by Payscale for bachelors degree from engineering schools): 4. Mudd (FYI -- this is a reach school for everyone; also starting salary is higher than MIT, CIT, and Stanford) 12. Hulman - 6. Stevens (same) 13. WPI 8. Colorado SoM 15. RPI 34. RIT (the rest are not in the Top 40 starting salaries for undergraduate engineering degrees) By Mid-career: 4. Mudd 6. Stevens 8. Colorado SoM 12. Hulman - 13. WPI (same) 15. RPI 34. RIT (the rest are not in the Top 40 starting salaries for undergraduate engineering degrees) https://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report/best-schools-by-type/bachelors/engineering-schools/page/2?orderBy=earlyCareerMedianPay&ascending=false |

My son got into UIUC. I just searched my inbox for UIUC and got a bunch of hits from Grainger, their engineering school. None of the gear at the bookstore seems to say UIUC, but it's ok to say if departments on campus at Illinois call it UIUC. |

| Have a look at Rose-Hulman. Great engineering school with great career outcomes. |

| Definitely add Harvey Mudd as a second reach. Small, rigorous school within a consortium that fits the Goldilocks size profile. It’s like a math and engineering Williams, with lifestyle, and no narp/athlete divide. Gorgeous climate. Great food. The clubs and athletics shared with CMC are incredibly well-funded. The experience is awesome. And then you make a great living when you graduate. What’s not to love? |

If you don't mind, can you elaborate on experience at HMC? |

| Cal Tech as a reach. WPI as a safety (apply EA). |
