Location/Region: I live in the US Minnesota,; region isn't a huge factor I can work with big cities and rural areas. Preferrably not something too rural though

Major: Mechanical engineering/Materials Engineering

GPA/Test Scores: 4.2778/4 weighted with 36 ACT

Curriculum: Thermodynamics is a big interest with thermal energy storage. A school that has Science Olympiad Invitational that I could volunteer at is ideal, maybe a solar racing team as well. Have a research lab focusing on thermal energy storage or renewable energy in general would be nice

Size: Doesn't really matter id say

Costs: Nothing over 100k? No need based financial aid

Schools You're Currently Looking At: What other schools are you thinking of applying to? Skip if none.
GA Tech
UMN Twin Cities
UW Madison
Purdue WL
Stanford
UC Berkely
MIT
Dartmouth
U Penn

Additional:
Nothing is a deal breaker, but ideally its a clean campus

Be Detailed! Everyone has some preferences about where they want to go to college. Diversity? Weather? Coastal/inland? Architecture? Color scheme? Whatever they are, please make sure to list it as much as possible—the more preferences and specificity you describe, the closer we can match our suggestions to colleges you might be interested in attending. Saying “no preference” isn’t helpful (and probably isn’t true, either!).

Architecture id rather not have an eysore to look at, preferably a newer ish building. Weather can be anything but I am accustomed to cold, but the heat isn't all to terrible as well. PREFERABLY not humid that is the worst. I enjoy a more research abed facility, oh and a school that has something to do with Chinese tradition or Lunar New Year so I can fit in easily. I also would like to participate in a school that has some sort of hands on building with renewable energy

All RD suggestions please now becuase EA is over

#

Also why dartmouth/penn and not cornell and princeton

#

The latter two are famously more strong in stem among the ivies

#

Though dartmouth has a solid mech e program and really good opportunities as well so I wouldnt remove it per se

#

Just interested in the selection

Milwaukee school of Engineering could be a nice safety that’s not too far from home
