[quote=Anonymous]What type of engineering? How committed is DC to engineering? I think in today's world it's becoming increasingly common for people to get a masters in engineering. So maybe the most important thing is to go to a program and do very well and get accepted a better engineering program for grad school. There's also the possibility that DC may change majors. Lots of students find they do not like engineering especially the more rigorous programs. And in many programs, the school makes the decision for the students by weeding out weaker students through an examination process. So if you think DC will change majors, maybe look into a school that has other strong programs. Another consideration is if DC falls into a category of underrepresented students and can get a scholarship. It would be a good idea to come out of school with as little debt as possible. OTOH, depending on the type of engineering and whether DC falls into one of those categories, it might not matter as much as some students who are overrepresented in engineering as far as grades go. There are quite a few people who have terrible grades and don't seem to know basic concepts and yet are able to get very good jobs because of diversity programs. All that matters for them is that they get the degree. Many of them will likely end up in higher paying management jobs where people skills are more important than technical knowledge.[/quote]
