<p>Hi.
So, let's say I got accepted to both colleges.
Which one should I pick?</p>
<p>UT has a higher ranking in Undergrad chemE but CMU is Also a very prestigious school.</p>
<p>My ultimate goal is to go to a very good GRAD school, not getting a job. </p>
<p>So...what should I do?</p>
<p>Go to Texas - cheaper.</p>
<p>What about the admission the grad schools? Money isn’t the issue here</p>
<p>Won’t make a difference.</p>
<p>My son is a college senior attending a flagship ranked below UT…He’s being recruited by all the top schools…because of his GPA and his GRE scores. THAT is what matters. That’s what top grad schools care about.</p>
<p>Don’t know about Texas, but top grades are hard to come by at CMU engineering. It does NOT have grade inflation. Texas is such a large school that I imagine there are some lower scoring students who will bring down the curve.</p>
