<p>Sup fellas, I currently go to a liberal arts college that offers 3/2 engineering program: It is basically two degrees in 5 years (b.a. in whatever liberal arts subject for 3 years at the college), then two years at one of the following schools to get your second degree (in engineering):</p>
<p>Case Western University
Columbia University
Pennsylvania State University
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Washington University in St. Louis*
*half tuiton is given to one student per year at WashU, but money isn't really a problem.</p>
<p>I have a very good idea about these school's regular ug programs... but not engineering.
Please Rank them in order of the engineering world's opinion and academic quality.</p>
<p>US News's opinion:
16. Pennsylvania State University / Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
28. Columbia University
33. Case Western Reserve University
39. Washington University in St. Louis</p>
<p>AMG345 In my opinion doing from columbia might be good as its an ivy Legue school and also have considerably good engineering program.</p>
<p>I had a question for </p>
<p>im_blue</p>
<p>. Sorry its not related to the post.</p>
<p>I am currently at UIUC. I transferred from India this year to electrical engineering. I still have 1 and half year to go but I want to do MSEE from good engineering school. As you have studied in UIUC and then went to Stanford I had a question for you.</p>
<p>What GPA from UIUC I need to have to get into good engineering school like MIT, Stanford, Umich or even UIUC itself. I am concerned because this semester my GPA is 3.57 and B- in history helped a lot to make is that bad. This was my first semester in US university and my advisor told me to take GenEd whatever I like, not easy that can boost your GPA so I took that. Anyways I also had another question if I attend summer school I can do minor in may be biomedical engineering will that be wiser as you did minor in maths.Does doing a minor help? an if it does is it wiser to complete by attending summer school.</p>
<p>It is important to get good recommendations and research experience to get into top Engineering programs. Since the spring semester starts soon, you should talk to professors at the beginning of the semester and try to get a research project going. The average undergrad GPA for UIUC ECE grad students is 3.86 and it's about 3.9 for Stanford EE, so these programs are very competitive. As far as a minor, I think it would be better to focus your time on improving your GPA and doing research, since minors don't help that much for admissions. In my case, I believe that my double major in math helped because I took a very heavy courseload.</p>
