<p>All are pretty good. Going to one over the other won’t give you an advantage or disadvantage when applying to grad schools</p>

<p>What Ken says is for the most part true.</p>

<p>However, if you look up PhD productivity you’ll find results similar to these:</p>

<p>For women, it’s Smith College. Smith’s Picker Engineering Program is the first accredited engineering program in the nation for women. </p>

<p>The quality of the engineering program is such that **every Smith College engineering student with a 3.5 GPA is GUARANTEED admission to the graduate engineering schools at Princeton, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, and University of Michigan! **</p>

<p>You can find more information on the program at: [Smith</a> College: Picker Engineering Program](<a href=“http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Engin/index.php]Smith”>http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Engin/index.php) and at: [Smith</a> College: Picker Engineering Program](<a href=“http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Engin/what.php]Smith”>http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Engin/what.php)</p>

<p>I think HMC is known for producing more graduate-school oriented students over RH, which has more of an industry focus.</p>

<p>I imagine you’d be able to get into a great graduate school no matter which one you attend, though.</p>

<p>Mudd has the best stats for that, so I’ve heard.

<p>Looking at the Reed link for sciences and engineering, the top 4 schools always struck me as more theory-based, which is usually what grad students like. Engineering majors as a whole are less inclined to go to grad school because they don’t need it to be successful, so I’d be wary about using phd productivity to judge quality. I’d imagine the opposite is true for some of the more academic, non pre-professional fields, such as the humanities.</p>
