<p>any of the schools you are interested in are more than good enough from and undergraduate level. visit and see what its like and how much YOU like it, not how much potential employers like it.</p>
<p>also, if you dont think you have a shot at MIT, its going to be difficult to get into Columbia engr. all of my friends who got into prestigious engr schools (like caltech, upenn) got waitlisted for mit or in. [with the exception of one guy…]</p>
<p>just remember, at the end of the day, individuals succeed, not institutions.</p>
