[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not exactly the same situation, but a friend of mine chose Dartmouth for "engineering sciences" over Cornell and Michigan engineering -hoping to follow a traditional engineering career path. He was never able to get his foot in the door and then ultimately went to law school. He's happy with what he's doing now but be aware not to let the brand of a certain school to lead you down a path that you're not willing to take.[/quote]

But Dartmouth offers ABET certified engineering.

But not a highly regarded engineering school. Just like Emory. If you're graduating with a GT degree, that's different. But "Emory engineering" isn't going to open doors.

Well since your story is changing, that makes it easy for me to call "BS/TROLL" on you.

But there is also data that makes that easier:  https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/academics/graduate/mem/industry

What story is changing? I think you are confusing different posters.

I'm an engineer and "Emory engineering" isn't a thing. Dartmouth engineering also isn't really highly-regarded. Georgia Tech is highly regarded. Michigan is highly regarded.

The original PP who brought up her friend choosing "Emory engineering" was full of crap.

Sorry if you were not the PP who said his friend chose Dartmouth and had to study "engineering sciences" instead of engineering.  The fact that Dartmouth has ABET certified engineering was shown.

Then you replied saying "but it is not highly regarded".  I assumed you were the same poster, and I apologize for that if you were not -- however how does your claim it is not highly regarded co-exist with the shown data that Dartmouth engineering grads earn far more than average?  It totally contradicts it.[/quote]
