<p>Well, I was accepted to all except Caltech. US news ranks USC tied with Caltech, and they both beat UCLA...where would Harvey rank among these universities?</p>
<p>It all depends on who you ask, drod87! You get different rankings for different sources, for undergrad/grad school, for different specializations of engineering, etc.</p>
<p>According to US News & World Report's 2005 rankings, HMC is #2 in undergraduate engineering as a whole. #1 is Rose-Hulman and #3 is Cooper Union.</p>
<p>I'm sure you can find different rankings but most everyone will agree that HMC has an excellent engineering program. Keep in mind that it is an unspecialized engineering major -- there aren't different programs for civil/electrical/chem/mechanical.</p>
<p>Congrats on your acceptances and good luck making a choice!</p>
<p>Is this for grad or undergrad? In the case of undergrad, it's kind of a crapshoot.</p>
<p>Undergrad, and to be more specific in looking into the mechanical engineering sector.</p>
<p>Hmm...that's tough. They're all really really good.</p>
<p>What do you want in a college? (i.e. big or small?)</p>
<p>Big= UCLA
less big= USC
small = Harvey Mudd
tiny = Cal Tech</p>
<p>Lots of pros and cons to each.</p>
<p>Well most likely im ending up at Harvey (95%), I just wanted to know how Harvey ranks among these schools.</p>
<p>Actually, Harvey Mudd has about 200 fewer undergrads than Caltech. Caltech also has a lot of grad students (more than they have undergrads), and, of course, Harvey Mudd doesn't have any.</p>
<p>My apologies. I had thought that Harvey Mudd was larger.</p>
<p>You learn something new every day!</p>
