Grad school options???

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Hi, everybody.</p>

<p>I am a mechanical engineering student at Northeastern University, Boston. I currently have a 3.9 GPA and I have recently been accepted to do undergrad research for an NSF center at NU in Nanomanufacturing. I have a different option though: I can transfer out to Cornell or UT Austin, cost is not really a huge deal. In the future I would like to attend grad school in engineering and then hopefully in business (MBA). What do you think would be a better option: staying at Northeastern, doing research and keeping my grades up OR transferring to one of the elite engineering schools, maybe getting lower grades and hopefully doing research as well. </p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>It really doesn't matter a whole lot where you go to undergrad. However, you may be exposed to more career opportunities due to increased on campus recruiting at UT or Cornell.</p>
