So essentially they are all tied.

Engineer here. No, definitely not.


I would have to see your data.

They are ranked #2, #6 and #7 ... so the rankings are not really that different.

DC was accepted into the engineering schools of all three.

Michigan and Texas are among the best engineering schools in the country. Much better than USC. Go with either of those — Michigan if you don’t mind cold, Texas if you want warm.

And employers don't care where you went to school once you have some experience, so it doesn't matter as much as the nerd crowd would like you to believe.


Disagree. It's part of your overall portfolio and people hire their own kind.

By the rankings, VTech engineering is #13 and Harvard is #25, so you choose VTech over Harvard? That would be some news.

Completely different situation and irrelevant to the topic at hand.

USC no. So not worth the money, even for families that can easily afford.

Michigan YES
Texas fine as well, but Michigan has better career center.

Look up how hard it is at each school to change majors just in case.

Then you don't understand the formula behind the ranking.

Texas, although I’m biased as an Austin native. I really can’t imagine anywhere better to spend four years!
