<p>Engineering, but not sure yet which major</p>

<p>I like Mines but A&M Engineering is actually in the top 20 on rankings, whereas Mines is like in the 60s usually =-|</p>

<p>Would going to one over the other give me an advantage in getting into a top Engineering Grad school? Like Berkeley/Stanford?</p>

<p><em>I am from Texas so A&M would be cheaper too</em></p>

<p>Input is much appreciated =-]</p>

<p>are you a girl?</p>

<p>Yes…Why?</p>

<p>Texas of course.</p>

<p>…Because school of mines is 70% men.</p>

<p>It really depends on your major. Mines really only offers majors in fields like ChemE, PetroE, and General Engineering. So if you were wanting Civil, Mechanical, Aero, etc. A&M would obviously be a better choice. I don’t think going to Mines will hinder your grad school chances at a top program though.</p>

<p>If you have any questions about A&M Engineering feel free to PM me. I’m a sophomore AeroE at A&M.</p>

<p>There’s no reason to spend extra to go out of state when the schools are comparable.</p>

<p>CSM does offer civil, mechanical and electrical engineering.</p>

<p>Hmm thanks for everyone’s thoughts on this matter
I got a financial aid grant from CSM making it even a few grand less than instate tuition so the cost for me to go there is just about the same as staying in Texas so I’ve decided to go:) I’m extremely happy about this decision. Since I found out I could go 5 days ago I’ve actually been happy again - as opposed to the very morose mood I had been in my 3week period of trying to convince myself to go to A&M. I’m sure a lot of people love A&M and it’s a great school and I would have been “okay” there but I am glad that I can afford my first choice school and head off to Colorado this fall :)</p>

<p>Texas A&M is better than Mines because their career services program is God like…End of Story. Always remember, Its all about what companies come to the school to hire graduating students, unless you are going to school strictly for knowledge and don’t intend on working after you graduate.</p>
