[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here’s my question …
Is it harder to get into Wisconsin for engineering than to get into Harvard engineering?
Harder to get into Purdue engineering than Columbia gnegineering? 
I just find it really challenging to built a “target” or “reach” list for engineering schools.    I don’t really have a sense of how hard it is to get into those top 30 engineering schools.[/quote]
It's significantly harder to get into Harvard or Columbia for engineering than Purdue or Wisconsin, simply because the Ivy League schools are more selective overall. However, most of the top 30 public engineering schools, like Purdue and Wisconsin are accessible to strong students. My current freshman was accepted at several of the Big 10 engineering schools but wouldn't have had a shot at an Ivy.

Fact is you don’t go to T10 schools to do engineering… you can dabble a bit in it. In the hierarchy of things , engineering is not up there. It makes for a very good life - if u are a good engineer -  but that’s it. I speak as an engineer (immigrated in the early 90s)[/quote]
