<p>Sorry that I post the same thread in both Cornell and Berkeley, but I really want to know more about it. </p>
<hr>
<p>I got into both of Cornell and Berkeley for electrical engineering. Obviously, Cornell has a higher rank in USNEW; however, the department of EECS in Berkeley is the top three in the world. Its rank in the world is also higher than Cornell's. Cornell has less students, which means less competition and more opportunities for each students. Berkeley is closed to silicon valley and probably many electrical companies, which means more opportunities. Now I know that I am going to apply for graduate school after four years. If I am taking the same classes and have the same grade, in what university does the GPA value more? Still, which one should I choose if I want to apply for a better graduate school? Thank you.</p>
