<p>I have a question… Is it a real accomplishment to be in the top 100 for engineering? Like my school is ranked 76th… Does that mean people respect that school a lot? Or is it considered low tier, and no one really cares that you went there? How many engineering schools are there in the USA anyways??</p>
<p>By my count, there are approximately 300 ([Engineering</a> Schools/Programs in the United States of America](<a href=“http://www.univsource.com/engg.htm]Engineering”>Discover Best Colleges In U.S. - U.S. News Best Colleges)).</p>
<p>I would say being 76/300 is worth something, and the top 33% of schools are probably more than three times as good as the bottom 33%. Your school is just shy of the 25th percentile for all engineering schools (in fact, it may beat it, since the actual number seems to be larger than 300).</p>
<p>Another stat: according to the list above, of the 300, 113 of those are private colleges. (Didn’t see Olin on the list though.)
Could we get a breakdown on how many of the 300 have Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, etc.?</p>
<p>Ok cool then, thanks for the link, I guess out of 300 is pretty good</p>
