[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he gets into an Engineering school, it would be MUCH better to be in a smaller E school with a supportive environment and a very high graduation rate. Also, be prepared for him to go onto a 5-year undergrad track.

With those scores, DC is really not a strong E School applicant. Test Scores really DO correlate strongly with success/failure in any E School. [/quote]

Following up my own post...

I forgot to say that, with those test scores, DC needs to be mentally prepared to "camp out" at faculty office hours to get help.

And an E School where actual faculty do all the teaching and having regular faculty office hours (i.e., not some grad student doing the teaching or handling office hours) would make a huge difference in graduation odds.

I have seen poor students from low quality public schools in Appalachia get through E School with a BS Engineering degree. It was a lot more work for them than the top students - and even the best students study all the time in E School.

And forget any ideas of DC having a part-time job during E School. He will not graduate if he has to work in addition to study. [/quote]
