<p>Um… thanks? Why did you feel the need to post this? Everyone that hasn’t been living under a rock for the last 60 years already knew all of this. Keep making yourself feel good though.</p>

3

<p>it’s obvious about how we feel about enginner ranking :
1st ranking : MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Caltech
2nd ranking : Gatech, UIUC, Carneige Melon, UT Ausin/ Michigan
and rest of crab schools.</p>

<p>Caltech is known for their outstanding graduate students for their selective graduate students and their knowledge in the field. Do you really need to boast your qualification on Catech?</p>

<p>

HAHAHAHA Man, you are going to pis/s off those Cornell guys.
I thought usually people rank schools like this</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I was surprised that Caltech outperformed Cornell in Engineering Physics this time. Hhahaha</p>

5

<p>This thread is doomed. We’re going to get 10 pages of people debating school ranks and nothing good will come out of it. </p>

<p>Yes I’m calling it now but I hope I’m wrong.</p>

6

<p>I propose the following:</p>

<p>1st Tier: <insert school=“” you=“” attend=“” here=“”>.
2nd - 98th Tier: Other schools.
99th Tier: Walmart University, JetBlue University, etc.
100th Tier: NYU.</insert></p>

<p>Yeah, that’s right.</p>

7

<p>Where is the zero-tier? The ultimate winner?</p>

8

<p>Zero Tier? That college nestled between 134th and 139th, of course! ;)</p>

9

<p>

</p>

<p>I hope you are being sarcastic.</p>

10

<p>Just gonna say now, those rankings aren’t going to make the professors at Caltech teach any better.</p>

11

<p>haha V Tech is not a tech school…it’s a generic state school with an overrated engineering ranking…</p>

12

<p>@ gstein,</p>

<p>Obviously I am, since gtgblows’s.</p>

13

<p>G Tech doesn’t blow…it’s a great school…</p>

14

<p>@wearymachine, he was referring to a post by gtgblows, not Ga Tech</p>
