[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about engineering without a business double major? What's the engineering program like?  Hard to believe it is worth the price tag over a flagship state school.  (And we have  Penn people in our family.)[/quote]

Access to choice firms/jobs is better and it is smaller than a state school so less kids fighting over resources.

And you don't 'close off avenues' - i.e. [b]a state school engineering student who decides senior year he wants to become a consultant or trader or work at a tech-focused investment firm would be frozen out of the recruiting pipeline (or would have to really really work hard on their own to break in)[/b] whereas an engineering student at penn has these types of companies (along with your typical technology companies) flock onto campus.

It is better to go to a 'target school' than not.

Now certain programs like BME is stronger at places like jhu and duke.

I would say half of penn's engineering students do engineering but really want to work in quantitative finance, business strategy but tech focused, etc. [/quote]

Depends on which state school you're talking about -- at Michigan or Berkeley, for example, engineering majors have many options open to them.  [/quote]
