[quote=Anonymous]For Undergrad - I don't know what strength has to do with anything.

From a Graduate Student and Professor's perspective - the Undergrads know Cr*p.  The material is mainly math, science, and fundamental Engineering classes. All depend on who's teaching it? You could get lucky at a Community College or the #1 Program in the world.

The strength really makes sense during Grad School where you work closely with the Prof, like be their Research Assistant and a lucky few that's the final year of Undergrad.

I keep hearing; VT is ranked ... higher than ... If you go to Grad School then you can take advantage but during undergrad first year you take one generic Engineering class and stuff like English, History, ... 2nd and 3rd its text book material nothing more. 4th year when the projects begin maybe depending on your major you work with a good Prof.

Just learn the material wherever you are. Then go to a great Grad School that reflect your interest not climbing the corporate ladder. The Profs depend their lively hood on the Grad Students they work with - the grades/test scores/where you graduated mean squat.  The PHD student is dependent on the Prof not the school.[/quote]
