[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP, here's a hypothetical: If admitted to both, would you choose engineering at Georgia Tech or Dartmouth? computer science at CMU or Yale?[/quote] If you knew for sure you wanted a career in Engineering/CS? Georgia Tech and CMU. I have a PhD in CS and interview SWEs/EEs in industry today. Engineering/CS reputation of a school is more helpful than general reputation. Exception might be if you wanted to double-major in CS & humanities or focus on something interdisciplinary — in that case I’d consider Yale. [/quote] At the margins...but Dartmouth and Yale grads have all the same opportunities available to them as CMU and Ga Tech grads. It doesn't really matter when the schools are top 20 or top 5 overall. This is really only a difficult decision if say you are picking University of South Carolina for International Business vs. Wharton. Where the overall ranking is significantly different than the program ranking.[/quote]
