Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, it is in Needham, MA and opened in 1997. Is this a good school. Even though I don't have a shot at getting in does anyone know their average GPA and act/sat score of freshman class?

Very hard school to get into. Average act is a 33. The school only has 150 students. 15% accecptance rate. Typically its just as hard to get into here as it is stanford, harvard cal tech. www.olin.edu

One of the top 10 students in S's high school (about 400hundred students) chose to go there over acceptances to Cornell, Northwestern, Wesleyan, and about 4 other schools. Ironically said she "could understand the professors accents better there" but I think she also felt it top rate in her field of interest.
