[quote=Anonymous]My senior Hokie is in one of the smaller engineering majors, like 50 students per year, so she's gotten to know classmates and faculty well, advising has been great, and she's done research, had paid internships every summer, and had multiple job offers for post-grad. The design team she's on placed 2nd at Nationals last year, and she loves the tech school vibe and being surrounded by classmates all in on engineering. The engineering LLC helped draw her in, and she's had a fantastic 4 years. It was totally win-win with regards to being in a smaller program but at a school with lots of resources.

She got into a private T10 with strong engineering but turned it down for a number of reasons, among them the smallish size of their engineering school and the very small cohort in her discipline of interest. Combined with the sense that many were headed for a med school track (primarily the BMEs) and non-engineering careers like management consulting, it just wasn't the vibe she was looking for.[/quote]
