Take a look at Elizabethtown in PA. On paper, the engineering faculty there is off the charts.

I disagree. But the kid described should avoid an engineering program with deliberate weed-out classes.

That would rule out ODU and VT, in Virginia, for example. Fine schools, but both have intentional weed out classes.

Everyone here will disagree, but I would at least apply to UVa Engineering if in state. UVa would place some admissions weight on those kinds of service projects. UVa is small and more supportive and has a high graduation rate in engineering for students who start in engineering.

Depending in student's intended major within engineering, consider CNU and GMU and UMBC.


Lol “weed out” classes exist to “weed out” kids who can’t be engineers. And just stop on UVA. Zero chance. Zero.

No, they exist because the major is oversubscribed any many schools want fewer students in the high level classes.

It's hard to beat BYU's price as an LDS member.

Not a realistic recommendation.

What do you disagree with? I am an engineer and I see nothing wrong with that statement. Engineering is hard no matter where you go.

I do not think the model would work with LDS missions in college - but who knows.

Engineering is a grind almost anywhere. Would a B student want that or is this more parent-driven?

WTF? A B average and service hours done from religious service will not get the kid in. And they also have weed out classes. Are you high?
