Hey everyone,
It is the time of my life where I am getting ready to apply for an undergraduate program. I live in Canada, however would love to have the opportunity to study in the states. I am absolutely sure that I want to study aerospace engineering, and am in need of some help narrowing down the unversities. I am an IB student taking higher level math, physics, chem, and english, and standard level history and french. My marks are fairly good, high 80's low 90's. I have yet to take the SAT but have been studying for it for some time.
I have a list of quite a few US schools that offer aerospace eng. as an undergraduate program, and was hoping that people on PF would be able to help me narrow it down a little, obviously I can't visit every one of these schools, so narrowing it down to something reasonable would certainly help.
Boston University
California Institute of Technology
Clarkson University
Cornell University
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (unsure which campus)
Florida Institute of Technology
Illinois Institute of Technology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Ohio State University: Columbus Campus
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Rochester Institute of Technology
State University of New York at Buffalo
Syracuse University
Texas A&M University
University of Central Florida
University of Miami
University of Notre Dame
University of Texas
Washington University in St. Louis
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Which schools should I look more closely at, and which should I stay away from? Also, which ones are out of my league? (ie MIT CalTech). I understand that University is a personal choice, and that others can't decide for you where to go because it is you who is going to be spending the next 4/5 yrs of your life there...however at the same time I want to know which universities are renowned to have very good programs and are recognized as excellent institutions. If I'm going to be paying the money to go to the US, I want a degree that is worth more than the paper it is printed on.
So if you know anything about any of the above institutions, or have others in mind, please let me know, it is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-Jon
