<p>11041994, better for what? The choice of schools depends on one´s goal, in my opinion. For example, the highest paid petroleum engineers are graduates of TX A&M. Generally getting a job as an Aggie in TX is easier than for grads from any other school. There was a national survery of recruiters in the Wall Street Journal that ranked A&M second in the country. Does that make A&M the best/ second best university in the country, better than Harvard, Stanford, MIT etc? It depends, if you are looking for a petroleum engineering job or a job in Texas, then it could be. Do you see what I mean? So, I am sure LUMS is better for getting certain kind of jobs, esp. in Pakistan than many top schools in the USA. Does this make LUMS better? For the guy looking for those jobs, yes. Does it get you ready to win the Nobel Prize or CEO of a Fortune 500 co. better than Harvard? That is debatable.</p>
