<p>dude, we know.</p>
<p>USNWR sucks majorly though, don’t make your opinion based on their opinion.</p>
<p>Too bad physics sucks</p>
<p>^^ Physics pwns everything.</p>
<p>whoa… that’s actually pretty amazing. no wonder i got rejected :(</p>
<p>This is fabulous and all, but how can we find undergraduate rankings for other departments? Such as English, political science, biology, chemistry, anthropology, all that other cool stuff?</p>
<p>wow, did not know that, I thought we were 3rd last year…</p>
<p>^^Cornell has been first for the past 3 years actually. Old news.</p>
<p>It’s Engineering Physics, a major in the Engineering department. I think it has been ranked number 1 for the past three years. But the full story is that many schools don’t even have Engineering Physics as a major. I don’t think MIT has one, even though it is ranked.</p>
<p>to battlecruiser: the “full story” is that virtually every top university that has science and engineering programs has either engineering science, engineering physics or applied physics. Also, I know everyone on this message board would agree that being ranked above Caltech engineering is not the same as being ranked above some fluke. I’ve put links to Stanford and Princeton’s engineering physics departments so that you can see how competitive this category actually and how difficult it is for a school to be ranked number one.</p>

<p>don’t write on topics you don’t understand</p>
<p>No, full story is this: [Best</a> Undergraduate Engineering Programs - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/spec-doct-engineering]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/spec-doct-engineering)</p>
<p>Engineering majors differ greatly from each other. take for instance mechanical engineering to computer engineering to biomedical engineering. this post looks like it pertains to Cornell being number one in engineering physics which is arguably the most difficult and respected (Coming from an Electrical Engineering grad and current M.eng. student at Berkeley). That is the full story and it is a great accomplishment. These boards should be used to appreciate the talents of each other and especially the contributions from amazing schools like Cornell.</p>
<p>AstonMartin - </p>
<p>What is your motivation for lurking on these boards and waiting for any opportunity to attack Cornell? Why can’t you just appreciate that there might be more than one great school and you can’t attend all of them. As a nation, we should be proud of how many public and private colleges and universities we have that are amongst the best in the world. Instead, it’s this constant sniping.</p>
<p>This thread is about Engineering Physics. I don’t understand why you would post about overall engineering. It’s off topic.</p>
<p>nice post applejack</p>
<p>impressive! but im not surprised</p>
<p>Peterhemmings, maybe you should read the link you posted. Oh, and don’t make incorrect titles. This is the only program that is ranked first. Your title has the plural form, meaning more than one.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was from the Stanford page. Hmm… it was introduced 2 years ago. Do you really expect any newly created major to very competitive?</p>
<p>Also, using CollegeBoard’s college search, about 108 universities/colleges have Engineering Physics or Applied Physics as a major. For comparison, there are about 542 colleges with Computer Engineering or Electrical/Communications Engineering. </p>
<p>Also, when you look at funding for these majors, I’m sure on average, Electrical or Mechanical engineering is going to be getting far more because these are the more popular engineering majors. Engineering Physics is not a popular major in the U.S. although I think it is overseas. Most schools don’t focus on Engineering Physics. That’s a fact. </p>
<p>Oh, and please don’t try to change my words or correct things I didn’t say. I never said anything about “top universities”. I said “many schools don’t even have Engineering Physics as a major”. And that is correct. So I think you should take your own advice, and “don’t write on topics you don’t understand.”</p>
