<p>My D was just admitted to Brown, Cornell, Duke(13K scholarship), and Rice(27K scholarship). My D will major in Electrical and Computer Engineering and/or Applied Math. My D plans to study Graduate school. What are some pros and cons for each school, and what are your thoughts?</p>
<p>It looks like Cornell is best in terms of rankings: [Best</a> Undergraduate Engineering Schools | Top Undergraduate Engineering Programs | US News Best Colleges](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering#]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering#)</p>
<p>And, obviously, Rice is best financially.</p>
<p>The NRC disagrees with USNWR which shows that the rankings overall don’t really favor one school over another.</p>
<p>[NRC</a> Rankings Overview: Electrical and Computer Engineering - Faculty - The Chronicle of Higher Education](<a href=“NRC Rankings Overview: Electrical and Computer Engineering”>NRC Rankings Overview: Electrical and Computer Engineering)</p>
<p>Duke: 10-40
Brown: 12-36
Cornell: 13-43
Rice: 22-56</p>
