Hi parents. I am seeking out recommendations of schools to research/visit to see if it would be a good fit for my sister.
Her stats/description:
Currently a junior in high school
ACT: 25 (first attempt this month)
GPA: 3.8
Female, Asian
middle class
Residency: Texas
Intended major: electrical or mechanical engineering...maybe civil
Varsity Tennis
AP classes but no AP test outs
No leadership positions or summer programs
No plans of graduate school.
My mom and I can maybe contribute 10k each per year max(lower the better but if we find a good enough fit...). She will take out federal student loans, no parent plus loans or private loans.
Prestige doesn't matter. As long as the school is ABET accredited.
Looking for suggestions on schools that make sense with her stats. Prefer schools that have nice kids, non-cut throat environment, teachers that care about teaching more than their research, and a reasonable workload. I want her to enjoy her college experience and have a good group of friends to turn to.
My sister is not nerdy so I am unsure if she will find friends to connect with at a tech school. She likes makeup, shopping, board games, bowling, rock climbing etc...
Basically, at what schools do the shy, average students succeed?
