If you are not going to miss USC/Westcoast too much, ED to Northeastern.
Then find a candidate for ED2 if don't get in Northeastern.
If you think you might regret it about USC(after getting into Northeatern), then find a comparable reach school to ED.
Then you can consider ED2 to Northeasetrn later or RD to both USC and Northeastern.
Thanks - good advice

Lafayette might also be a consideration if your child wants the ability to change majors from engineering to a non-engineering field (I always associate it with Lehigh - if you're considering one, you probably want to at least look at the other). If that is not the case, RIT?

Looking for: in or near a city, mid-sized, preferably not in the Midwest.
3.9 UW GPA at private school, moderately rigorous courses, 32 ACT (may apply TO)
No hooks
Possible candidates: Northeastern, U of Miami, Villanova, BU, BC, Wake Forest, Lehigh, LMU, USC, Santa Clara
Any feedback or other ideas?
NU engineering is super tough to get into - always has been, just be forewarned, OP.
Northwestern (NU) is not Northeastern (NEU). Their marketing is confusing.
no, https://www.nu.edu/

University of Denver is another good safety option based on her description. Also some of the schools you list are on the quarter system and some are semester. This can make a big difference in the intensity of the engineering program, so make sure she considers that too.

Also consider ED to Northeasern.
Northeastern is very strong in Engineering, CS, and STEM in general.
Great in recruiting by good companies.
Thank you

BC and Wake have new engineering programs that look interesting although it would be a risk since they are new and not accredited.
Don't choose a new program. Go somewhere established in the field. You want to an alumni network.

USC = Reach
Northeasern/BU = Reach Match
Lehigh/Villanova = Match
Miami = Match safety
LMU/Santa Clara = Saftey
You need to add more schools.
I was thinking Lafayette but it is very small. Maybe U of San Diego. Any other ideas?
