[quote=Anonymous]GPA 3.96/4.85 from MCPS, AP Calc BC and AP Physics C as the strongest for engineering, 9 APs at the end of 11th. I think 5 next year but I'm not sure. Female, if that makes a difference. 1510 SAT (780 math), will take again in June. We can afford about $250K total (tuition + room and board), can go up a little with cash flow if needed. She still isn't sure which type of engineering, but leaning towards mechanical or nuclear.

I promised to help her with her list and this is what she gave me:

Reach- 
USC (can get tuition exchange program through my work which would make it affordable if we get it, but may be a long shot) 
Georgia Tech (I went there)
UIUC

Target-
UMD (in state)
Case Western (tuition exchange if we get it)
University of Florida (again tuition exchange)
Cal Poly (I thought this would be a reach?)
NC State (she may want nuclear engineering, still not sure)
Purdue
Colorado School of Mines

Safety-
University of Pittsburgh (has tuition exchange if we get it)
University of Delaware (has tuition exchange if we get it)
Penn State (not sure if safety??)
Virginia Tech (not sure if safety??)

Any others she might want to add? Or ones she should take off? Or is she off on the distribution of reach/target/safety? She also put UC Berkeley and Cornell as reaches but I don't think those are affordable (and not attainable) so I feel like I should discourage her from those.
