<p>Is NEU a high ranking engineering university? How high is it and compared to other top engineering programs in the US, how does it stack against them? </p>
<p>As for research, does the university focus on research and provide high-end research facilities for undergraduates? </p>
<p>I am interested in research and I plan on applying to NEU as an international transfer student. I originally wanted to apply to top schools ( especially for research) such as MIT, rice and caltech for research purposes as a freshman but I attended a university here by mistake, and currently my 3.35 GPA doesn't help.</p>
