[quote=Anonymous]You should also research carefully the retention rate. Some schools are notorious for weeding kids out. You also need to consider whether there's a cap on the number of kids allowed in each field of engineering. For example, some schools (I believe Purdue & Va Tech are like this) do not directly admit to the different majors. Instead, you take general engineering courses in your first year and then apply for your choice of engineering but it's based on gpa so you may not get into your choice if there are too many kids applying to that field. So if your dc has a specific engineering he/she has in mind, it could be a gamble to go to a school like this. [/quote]
