[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the one who said UVA is more prestigious, absolutely not in engineering.

GT is like Ivy League of engineering. UVA is not known for engineering. Indeed, Virginia Tech would be higher status than UVA in engineering. [/quote]
This isn't how undergrad prestige works, that's why grad schools have subject rankings and undergrad has overall rankings. UVa is simply more prestigious for undergrad...[/quote]

Undergrad engineering is not like other major/subject areas, which is why they are generally in separate school. They don’t have broad liberal arts requirements - like foreign language, English, philosophy, etc. It’s why engineering programs are different from typical university rankings.

DC is in an engineering program and his courses requirements only included one humanities course. The rest were math, chemistry, computer and physics courses. DC was shocked they didn’t even have to take an English class and happy about skipping a foreign language.[/quote]
