[quote=Anonymous]"When I was looking into this many many years ago, I recall Cornell had a 3-2 program (So does Clarkson. I wouldn't put Clarkson in the "elite" category -- but that could be do to my ignorance as others on here have differed with me)." Part of the reason that students don't finish 3-2 Engineering programs is that Columbia, Cornell, CalTech etc are elite. They require high GPAs at the SLAC to continue. While there are many successes, it would be pretty painful to have a 3.4X in physics at your SLAC but not get to do the engineering part because they require a 3.5. Part of the pain would be not daring to take harder classes because they might drag down your GPA. If you want a back door to an elite, better to start off at Clarkson, show what you can do and transfer to Columbia, Cornell, CalTech after one or two years.[/quote]
