[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't get into VT but got into VCU. Does anyone know the difference in programs. VCU is ranked much lower. Should we pay more for higher ranked schools OOS? ABET certified is ABET certified no matter where you go, right?[/quote] Hiring manager here. VCU is totally fine for engineering -- provided they offer the specific degree (example: BS EE) that DC wants. They have good job placement and also good grad school placement. DC should pick upper-level in-major electives carefully at any engineering program. Rigor matters there also. Do not get a degree in "General Engineering", which is all that JMU offers, from any college. Those do not usually end up working in engineering. Higher rankings in engineering programs are much less meaningful than they might be in some academic fields -- because ABET sets the minimum rigor at a pretty high level. [/quote]
