Best Engineering schools on the east coast?

In summary, the speaker is currently living in Virginia and is interested in pursuing engineering. They have applied to Virginia Tech and UVA, and are also considering applying to MIT. However, they are also interested in exploring other engineering schools on the east coast, particularly RPI, RIT, CMU, PSU, and possibly BU and Cornell. They have also heard good things about Penn State and University of Michigan, but are unsure about their graduates' success.

Ok so I live in Virginia and want to go to school for engineering, the problem is picking one. I am applying to Virginia Tech and UVA and I should get into those. I am going to apply to MIT just to see if I get in (I have a strong resume but I know it takes a hell of a lot more than that). But I don't just want to constrain myself to those schools, but if I go out of state I want to stay on the east coast. So what are the best engineering schools on the east coast that I might want to check out?
