Grrr...SAT Scores...

Check retention on just engineering majors if its possible. That's the numbers I was talking about.... Stevens for instance has a really nice retention rate now due in no small part to its expansion in the business program. MIT has a good business program as well, which many students move to after deciding engineering isn't for them.
Again though, retention rates aren't really a big deal. Do YOU plan to keep your major? Then it's irrelevant. Retention rates very rarely clue you in on a "bad" school.. its much more often a "hard" school or a very specialized school where students tend to leave instead of switch majors.
As for Stevens, I think it's an excellent school. I love it here, and fully believe that my major and my being at Stevens helped me to get the job I received. My soon-to-be employer also all but said it was my business and technical backing that got me the specific position I got, as opposed to other candidates. It IS very expensive though, but being a private school, there are a lot of scholarship options. Obviously I know next to nothing about your grades and your family situation, so I can't say much, but I will say there is a lot of money to be given out here if you look.
If you happen to have any questions about the school let me know. I also have a few very good friends at TCNJ and NJIT if you have questions about those schools as well. My sister is looking at colleges right now as well, so I've been giving her lots of info and people to contact recently. If you need to find out about Rutgers, just go outside and ask someone... you'll find an alum in 5 mins :)

Right now, my GPA is about a 2.7, and my parents have saved up over the past 17 years about 40k for each myself and my brother to use for college. So one way or another, I'm going to need financial aid or student loans.

But he said he wanted an engineering major. Unless something's changed in the past 10 years, the first year of engineering at A&M is more commonly known as "pre-business". ;)

Shut the hell up Boykster!

All I did was state my GPA and my SAT score. Neither necessarily reflects my intelligence to its full extent. You don't know anything else about my background, and therefore have no right to make idiotic judgments like that.
As for pinballjim, I laugh at the idea of going anywhere near Texas. I'm not laughing specifically at A&M. I honestly don't know, but I'm sure that A&M is an excellent school, for anyone who chooses to live in Texas.
