I'll answer: zero.

Because of all the rankings that don't matter, it's the engineering undergrad rankings. You go to any one of these schools -- or the next 30 for that matter -- and get through the program, and you'll get a great job.

Alex, I will take "what people who didn't get into a Top Engineering School say" for $200.

You pulled that at of your a**. My DS is at one of those Top programs listed and has many friends that have turned down lower ranked programs at Ivies. These Top programs are highly recruited. You are in a bubble.

Ok, name the school. What are you afraid of? I'm betting it's not Penn State.

lol I don't have to prove anything to you message poster guy. I can tell you literally have 0 knowledge on the subject. I live it and see it. Keep posting nonsense.

Oh, well that settles it then. Some anonymous rankings obsessed weirdo says it because he lives through DS and won't back it up, so it must be true.

2.Georgia Tech

Biomedical Engineering

1. Georgia Tech
2. Johns Hopkins
3. Duke

Aerospace Engineering

2.Georgia Tech

Electrical Engineering

1.UC Berkely

Top 30 Feeders to Engineering

The topic title is inaccurate.

I don't see how that's true. Caltech students disproportionately get into top PhD programs which lead into tenure track roles.

They absolutely slandered Caltech. Career outcomes are no doubt a large part of this ranking, and academia famously doesn't pay well.

Hopkins and Caltech are underrated compared to where the rest of the ivies are from an eng standpoint.
