<p>“you are 17 or 18 yrs old…there is no way you KNOW you want engineering. don’t limit your options…go to columbia.”</p>

<p>Thats an interesting point to think about. I never thought of it that way. They’re ranked very similiar but Columbia does have that Ivy League option. Like everyone else has said, go to Columbia if you can get in and then afford it. If not then maryland is certainly a good alternative.
Other Ivy League schools that also have solid engineering programs are Cornell and UPenn. So look into those too, especially cornell.</p>

<p>BTW that list someone has made isn’t bad. Start looking through those. But here’s an overall view of engineering: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/769210-complete-usnews-2010-undergrad-engineering-rankings-phd-granting-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/769210-complete-usnews-2010-undergrad-engineering-rankings-phd-granting-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
