[quote=Anonymous]Depends entirely on the major. Industries don't think the way parents and kids do about status. I wish more people really believed/understood that. For example, if you're talking about most areas of engineering, Georgia Tech and Purdue are way better than the Ivies. Chemical Engineering? University of Delaware is #2 in the country. If I had just answered that I think UD is better than low Ivies, people here would snicker and look down on me I fear. But the truth is it is way way better than the Ivies in this. So I just find this exercise a little artificial. The way people are thinking about universities isn't really how it works. It's just that we have such a hard time walking away from the concept of prestige.[/quote]
