1.Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Engineering and science based schools dominate the Sweet Sixteen of Tough A's. Their workloads are higher and their grades are lower than national averages. Rensselaer fits right in with a high quality student body and an average GPA about 0.25 below typical private schools of its caliber.
I went to RPI for a while - tough school. If you weren't taking 18 credits a semester, you weren't going to graduate on time. And 15 of them were engineering. Probably better academically than Auburn. But the women were... well.. lets just say it was (a) an engineering school so the ratio was probably 5:1 (and not in a good way) and (b) the girls that went there were - well - there's a reason our Division III football didn't have cheerleaders.*
* The Div I hockey team was kick-butt, I have to say.
