  • Location/Region: New England/Mid-Atlantic region in the US. No rural schools.

  • Major: I really enjoy business and the idea of starting my own company, but I want to major in engineering to have the technical skills to back up my future ventures. I want a school with a strong focus on innovation within the college of engineering, and also other entrepreneurial resources I can use outside of the classroom. I also really would like colleges that have resources around exploring AI.

  • GPA/Test Scores: My weighted GPA is a 98. SAT is 1430 and superscore 1480.

  • Curriculum: Exploration of AI and innovation and entrepreneurship. I would like to continue to swim, play in a band, and participate in an entrepreneurship club in college.

  • Costs: Cost is not a concern

  • Schools You're Currently Looking At: I really enjoy NYU, UPenn, and Northeastern’s programs for entrepreneurship. I also really like that they are all in major urban centers.

  • Additional: I would like a secular school in a safe location. Nice dorms and good food are a plus too.

This isn't necessarily like "engineering + entrepreneurship" but NCSU's college of engineering has a strong foundation in business/economics across their majors iirc

#

It will slightly vary depending on the type of engineering, like I think construction engineering & industrial engineering might have stronger business foci than something like nuclear or chemical (I'd have to check the course plan)
