<p>Besides Caltech & MIT what others qualify as great tech/sci schools? Mudd, JHU, Cornell?</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon
Cal (Chemistry & Engineering)
UCSD (Bioengineering)
Mudd</p>
<p>I'm interested in engineering. I'll be attending Caltech... but here is the list of schools I applied to: Caltech, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Princeton, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Georgia Tech, and UF. </p>
<p>I also think Mudd and Cornell are good in these areas. Also, I'm not 100% sure about this one, but I know a lot of people who say UChicago is good for that sort of thing.</p>
<p>Berkeley
Cornell
UCSD</p>
<p>Stanford and Princeton</p>
<p>What do you mean by "Technology/Science Schools"? Do you mean schools where the majority of academic offerings and students focus on the sciences and technology? If so, I'd say Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Harvey Mudd and Rose Hulman.</p>
<p>If you mean schools with excellent science and technology programs, then the list grows considerably, with Cal, Cornell, Michigan-Ann Arbor, Princeton, Stanford and several others making the list.</p>
<p>Michigan State University
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (a.k.a. Va Tech)
Rensalaer Polytechnic Institute, NY
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, MA
North Carolina State University</p>
<p>Northwestern. US News ranks their programs in chemistry, civil engg, mechanical engg, material sciences, and industrial engineering & management sciences as top-10. Their first-year "engineering first" curriculum is unique. Well-established CO-OP program also.</p>
<p>All five of the US Service Academies are top notch engineering and science schools.</p>
<p>Columbia has a great engineering school as well.</p>
<p>Since madjoy put in his shameless Columbia plug, I'll put mine in for Penn as well. </p>
<p>For Ivy Engineering: Cornell, Princeton, Penn, Columbia (In that order, I'd say, with Cornell being most solid for engineering)</p>
<p>Other great schools: MIT, Caltech, Stanford, RPI, Carnegie Mellon, Case Western, Olin</p>

<p>Harvard is actually ranked substantially higher than Penn in grad engineering. #21 vs. #32. I don't know about undergrad, as I don't have that edition in front of me right now.</p>
<p>According to the latest USNWR undergraduate rankings, Penn is #27 and Harvard #31 in Engineering. But Penn is top 10 in Biomedical Engineering. I don't think Harvard is in the top 20 in any speciality.</p>

<p>Err, I'm female, and a Wesleyan University student. :D</p>
<p>Alexandre, do you know how Harvard and Princeton rank in undergraduate CS?</p>
<p>I am not sure there is a ranking of undergraduate CS departments. In general, it is very difficult to rank undergraduate departments. However, I'd imagine that the top 50 graduate CS programs probably all have solid undergraduate CS programs.</p>
<p>Alex is correct in saying that it is very difficult to rank under programs. Having said that, the following list will help you decide which school you should attend.</p>
<p>MIT
Berkeley
Stanford
Caltech
Georgia Tech
CMU
Purdue
Michigan
UIUC
Wisconsin
UCSD/UCLA</p>
<p>and your local state-flagship school and LACs would be as good.</p>
<p>Basically, for an undergrad deg in science/eng, I agree with lex that any top 50 schools would be good enough for you. You can be picky and study deeper later in your graduate school!!!</p>
<p>RPI sends the third most students of any school to get PhDs in engineering and chemistry, only behind MIT and Cornell.</p>
<p>^ got a source gellino?</p>
