[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're just starting the process. DD would do best in a small liberal arts school where she can get to know her professors, but she's interested in engineering. Her grades are pretty average; she's smart, but she won't get into the most selective schools. Suggestions?[/quote] Aside from some truly selective small engineering schools (Caltech, Harvey Mudd) the challenge with engineering programs at small schools is that they lack the resources (labs, professors) that an engineering program demands. I suggest that you not rule out large state schools. Look more deeply into the engineering programs and you might be surprised to find that once you get past the "weed out process," the programs have the feel of a small school within a large school. This assumes that your DD's goal is NOT simply to earn a degree that says "engineering"[/quote]
