<p>All for engineering.</p>
<p>Ideally, I'd like to major in engineering for undergrad and do graduate business schools.
Or dual degree
or minors</p>
<p>What are your thoughts?
I'm trying to visit the schools as soon as possible. I'm from the west coast and have never visited them.</p>
<p>I don’t really think you can beat Cornell’s engineering program.</p>
<p>Cornell’s engineering definitely tops Columbia’s and UPenn’s, hands down. If you want to do business, perhaps Penn would be the best choice for grad school, like you said. Regardless, Cornell still has an excellent business program–There is a minor in applied economics management offered in the engineering program, which is the business equivalent. It isn’t challenging, and it looks great when applying to higher education, i.e., shows that this engineer isn’t completely focused on math and sciences.</p>
<p>Cornell has the reputation of having the best engineering program among Ivy-league schools. So, if you’re definitely sure that you’re majoring in engineering, then I’d say Cornell is the best choice among the colleges you listed. (unless you got into Stanford, Caltech, or MIT) Columbia’s Fu Engineering and Penn’s SEAS are OKAY, but generally perceived as not as good as Cornell’s engineering programs. I totally agree with EIGENGRAPES. Penn for Business. Cornell for Engineering.</p>
<p>What engineering do you plan on going into? If you are leaning toward Biomedical Engineering, by far, Duke is the most robust candidate. For the other fields of engineering, I would have to agree that Cornell fosters the best program overall.</p>
<p>Summary:</p>
<p>UPenn = Business
Cornell = Engineering
Duke = BioMed Engineering</p>
<p>Although, my brother is enrolled in a 5-year program and Columbia University double majoring in Industrial Engineering and Economics. And they also give him his masters degree. I don’t know what kind of masters degree it is, I’ll have to ask him if you’re actually curious about this. :P</p>
