[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is Umich vs Penn for engineering?[/quote]

No difference unless you want to work in finance/consulting…what Penn engineering gives you is more optionality at lower gpa levels

If you want to work in engineering / tech, a 3.5+ grad from Michigan will be the same as Penn

That’s Nonsense.  That’s like saying there’s no difference between Harvard and Michigan in engineering.  You’d probably say Harvard is better than Penn too, since it’s ranked higher by USNWR as a university.  Any grad from Michigan with an equal GPA to a Penn grad in tech/engineering will be looked on similarly.  Michigan is known as an engineering powerhouse; Penn, not so much. [/quote]

Employers do treat kids from the ivys preferentially.  I have a kid at Michigan who went through 100+ interviews to get a CS internship last summer (4.0 GPA, Dean's list, etc.).  His friends from Penn had no issues walking into Amazon for a CS internship.  Another got into GS for a finance internship.  The interview process as described by those kids was 'light' and they didn't seem to have applied to a lot of places.  I suspect employment will also be treated the same way.[/quote]
