[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Dayton! Great community and [b]highly ranked engineering[/b]. I went there in the 90s. [/quote]
By whom?[/quote]

Not the PP, but Dayton does have a good engineering school. I think they’re around #50 in US News and in good company. They have ties with GE in the Dayton area and the grads are well regarded. We looked at it for my son who wanted a smaller to mid size school with engineering. [/quote]
I just looked it up. USNWR ranks the undergraduate engineering program 125. Among Boise St., FIU, NC A&T, SD Mines, SMU, UAB, UAH, Louisville, Mass-Lowell, UNH, UNCC, Wisc-Milw and Wayne St.[/quote]

Not bad company.

You can’t win on this forum.  OP wants an engineering school for a B student.  Engineers are saying it doesn’t really matter where you go to school.  Someone then identifies a school that would take the B student and you poo poo it.  Not helpful.

To me, the bottom line is that OP needs to accept that her student is not going to get into a top engineering school simply on the basis of ECs, but there are plenty of lower ranked ones that would give him a shot. [/quote]
