Princeton and Harvard are ivies, and have a pretty decent rank at most ranking sites. Definitely not as good as Illinois, or UMICH but certainly in the top 20 in the world. Apart from that Comp Engg is not the only subject I am going to study there. I have interests in music and economics too. Moreover, my friend who is currently in Stanford told me to not to cut the Ivies from my dream-list, just because they have a lower rank in Engineering. (Rank 17th and 19th, [Rankings</a> - Best Engineering Schools - Graduate Schools - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/rankings]Rankings”>http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/rankings) )
Also it is heard quite often, that after a certain point courses don’t matter, universities do.
Why do you think they are not good enough for engineering? </p>

Thanks for your input. I will research more about Swarthmore and Harvey Mudd.
I am going to take my SAT reasoning test again, get that perfect score! Stanford, Harvard and Princeton stay on my list!</p>

I have always liked computers and everything related to them. In school too, it’s been my favorite subject.</p>
