<p>Hey guys I just got accepted to Case and got a prov. schol. worth $18600</p>
<p>Now the problem is I was really kind of ruling them out due to the fact that I got into PSU(In-State) already and with the scholarship the tuition is about the same before finaid(needed)
I know the atmospheres are different and thats why Im attempting to visit each before the dealine
I just wanna hear some input on which you guys would pick and why :)</p>
<p>Im going for engineering BTW.</p>
<p>aww come on I know some of you have your opinions ready ;)</p>
<p>honestly case is much better than psu.....thats all im gonna say</p>
<p>and why do you believe Case to be much better than PSU Hand?</p>
<p>Case just is considered better but case is really easy to get into. I hear socially Case is horrible. </p>
<p>Look at my school's applications over the past 3 years

Go to scattergrams
look at case and PSU. </p>
<p>Both schools are not too hard to get into but case just is much easier than schools at its level. Case is a really good school though. it doesn't have as much prestige though with only a 3.5 Peer assessment rating vs. PSU's 3.8</p>
<p>I got into PSU. I live in Maryland so that is whre I am most likely going to go</p>
<p>What are you going to major in??</p>
<p>Are there other factors besides academics which are important?</p>
<p>Well I just wanted to know where you guys would go and why.
Though Im mostly asking about academics all opinions are welcome</p>
<p>I plan to major in some form of engineering, though im torn as to what since I have not really experienced too much of any of them</p>
<p>That's a hard choice since as I understand they're both excellent in engineering. Is there a type of engineering you're leaning towards?</p>
<p>i would go to PSU; it would be awesome going to football games.</p>
<p>see celebrian the problem is all of the engineering interests me :P(elec. Bio Mech and even CS)</p>
<p>have you looked at the specific departments at each school, even just their websites? I'd be leaning towards PSU in your case (though in actuality i'm likely going to case)</p>
<p>Ive been looking at the websites yes and I guess my decision will come down to which visit I like the most</p>
<p>To tell the truth I was not considering Case because of the price compared to PSU, but with that scholarship it kinda evened em out :P.</p>
<p>Cele did you get into both? whyd you choose case?</p>
<p>I didn't apply to PSU (not really worth the tuition for an out of stater)</p>
<p>But as far as engineering, they are both of pretty equal prestige. But I think when you visit you'll know, because they are so different. Even there locations are vastly different. I wouldn't stress out yet.</p>
<p>in regards to the peer assesment ranking for public universities - they seem super-inflated. They universally have higher assesment ratings than comparable privates. It seems these schools are given more "prestige" on USNews due to doctoral research but this will def not carry to the undergrad experience. I believe most academics ansd employers will be more impressed with Case than PSU, especially if youre in Math or biomed etc.</p>
<p>well actually Case beats PSU on the whole national universities rankings but Im not JUST looking for rankings (Though they dont hurt)
Thx for the advice from you guys and keep it comin! :)</p>
<p>I think you should consider research abilities. Are you in the honors program at PSU?</p>
<p>I would choose case unless you got into the psu honors program</p>
<p>No I just got into regular PSU</p>
<p>I'd probably go for Case then. I think it affords you more academic oppurtunities to the huge school PSU is. :)</p>
<p>I agree with Case</p>
