[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]another thing is that some schools really try to weed out the engineering majors. IMO this is not necessary. if you choose a school that is known for weeding out, then it is going to be a tough time.[/quote] Another reason to aim high and for the most prestigious which also happen to be most rigorous: getting in is the hard part but staying in engineering is not: the ivies and MIT and Mudd and swarthmore and hopkins all have over 92% persistence/continuation in Engineering after freshman year(typically when engineering has to declare the major), some have 97%. Ds are basically unheard of and Cs are rare. Smaller classes/cohorts leads to much more professor and departmental support. These schools also are among the ones that have the highest percent pursue phD, and of course place into top industries and have the highest starting salaries. I think you are very wise to be investigating now, OP! Goals are important for students to have. [/quote]
