Hey there! I'm a junior starting my college search and while I'm not dropping my Ivy league dreams, I'm looking to have other options too. Can anyone shed some light on the least selective colleges in Ohio? Particularly interested in those that also offer decent engineering programs. Thanks!
Alright, it's a wise move to keep a balanced college list. In Ohio, there are some less selective schools that still present quality engineering programs.
For instance, the University of Toledo has an acceptance rate of around 90% and it's known for its College of Engineering with several departments like Chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering.
Another one is Youngstown State University with an acceptance rate of approximately 78%. The University’s College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) offers a variety of engineering programs, from Chemical to Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Cleveland State University is another option with an acceptance rate of about 85%. Their Washkewicz College of Engineering offers different undergraduate programs including Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer Engineering.
While these aren't as competitive as Ivy League schools, they still have well-respected engineering programs, offering a foundation for a successful career in the field. Remember, attending a less selective school doesn't mean compromising on the quality of education. And moreover, you can always leverage networking, internships, and part-time job opportunities to further enhance your profile while in college. Good luck with your search!
