For engineering, could you please rank these three in order from best two worst.
<p>lol, my grammer, best to worst.</p>
<p>By a slim margin, but ranked higher numbers-wise nonetheless.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>USC Viterbi-- #8 in grad engineering programs</p></li>
<li><p>Carnegie Mellon-- #9</p></li>
<li><p>Cornell-- #12</p></li>
</ol>
<p>so im assuming that undergrad engineering rankings would be about the same then?</p>
<p>For undergraduate,
1. Cornell</p>
<p>2/3. USC/CMU (depending on majors)</p>
<p>For graduate school, you need to look into particular research directions, and potential research advisers.</p>
<p>i hear so much bad stuff about carnegie mellon from studentsreview.com</p>
<p>horrible weather, social life, surrounding city</p>
<p>I am not sure if the computer science department is part of engineering school at CMU. That one is pne of the top in the nation.</p>
<p>Please don't judge Carnegie Mellon without a visit. The campus is very nice, compact and clean, with interesting buildings. Their community/athletic center is brand new and beautiful. The university is located between a lively city neighborhood and a large park with an art museum and conservatory. Because it attracts top students in CS and theatre, they have some unique programs that combine the two disciplines. They also have a terrific business school and offer combined programs between it and the other colleges.</p>
<p>The computer science school is separate from the engineering school, and you apply to specific schools, so you do need to make a decision about that if you apply to CMU. I don't know anything about Cornell, but if you're interested in CMU and USC you just have to visit them. They're completely different; CMU is about 1/3 of the size of USC. USC has better weather, a big emphasis on its football team, and a much larger frat scene. It is also notorious for having large intro classes, I believe, but has a beautiful new engineering building to put them in. If you apply to USC, do so by the first deadline (in November or December) so that you're considered for scholarship money. I really like CMU and that's where I'm going in the fall, but it's hard to describe why. It is in a much better area of town than USC and guarantees 4 years of housing.</p>
<p>I'm going to Cornell Engineering so I know a lot about it... Cornell as a whole has a better reputation that Carnegie Mellon and is much more prestigious, and their engineering programs are very similar. Consider the size of the alumni network at Cornell. This is very important when getting a job.</p>
<p>2005 USNews Undergrad Engineering Rankings:
8. Carnegie Mellon University (PA)
10. Cornell University (NY)
22. Univ. of Southern California</p>
<p>Oh and I'm Comp Sci by the way. If I didn't get into Cornell ED I would have applied to CMU, so I know a bit about that school too.</p>
<p>say, u think u could post the top 50 or 25?</p>
