[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is an MCPS senior this year and had OP's profile pretty much spot on. In at UMD and WPI, WL Cornell, rejected GaTech.

Family/friends currently attending or recently attended Illinois/UIUC, Minnesota, and Rose-Hulman.

Illinois is great in engineering, lots of Chicago kids, need to be okay with being in remote/rural location, not a safety bc so many TJ/MBHS apply. If kid decides to leave engineering--many do--it's not so strong in the non-engineering areas for OOS.

Minnesota is strong in engineering, urban location, and pretty sure it lets you know earlier/rolling (I think, correct me if wrong!), so can knock out a good engineering school early to limit apps, since OP mentioned that as a goal. Know a kid who chose Illinois over Minnesota bc in-state and better in engineering and fine with rural location. Student attending Minnesota gets in-state tuition though WI-MN reciprocity, so better option, wanted urban, and ended up transferring out to differ non-engineering major and was glad to have a lot of options--doing some sort of environmental engineering-adjacent degree.

Rose-Hulman might be a bit rural, need to be okay with heavy male lean, but their career office rocks it, one of the best placement ratings. Everyone I know who has gone was a fan, male, and ended up in good jobs (all within last few years). Kid I know who went chose it because of excellent placement and bc it offered great merit aid.[/quote]

How much merit does RH offer? do they do anything special to recruit girls? seems at these small engineering schools the sex ratio is skewed.[/quote]
