[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about for a kid who wants to do mechanical/aerospace at a VA state school? She really wants aerospace but has been told best to do mechanical because it is most versatile. We were wondering ODU because of its proximity to NASA Wallops, Langley, etc? [/quote]

ODU has a strong relationship with NASA Langley and ODU Engineering School is credible. Good option if goal is job at NASA Langley.

VT E School has several deliberate weed-out classes, but likely is the best E school in the state.  VT Engineering School is a tough admit, be sure to have a backup plan in likely case of not admitted.

UVa E School is much smaller and also a tough admit, but they do not have intentional weed out classes. UVa also has a strong AeroE program with good connections at Boeing, Lockheed, USAF, and USSF.

Pro tip: USAF ROTC gives preference to AeroE (and ECE and Nursing) students for full-ride 4-year ROTC scholarships.  Student can choose either USSF or USAF as graduation approaches. Apply now if DC has not already done so. US citizens only. [/quote]
