How does CMU CIT compare to other engineering programs?

<p>I know its ranked lower than others, but I've specifically applying to ECE or computer engineering which is supposedly #2. Is their computer engineering around the same realm (but not equal to SCS) in terms of prestige? Or does it count against me that I went to a lower ranked school than say Gtech or UIUC when I apply for internships and what not.</p>

<p>Moreover do job offerers look at the school that you go to? (Like SCS) or do they more care about the courses and majors/minors you do (Like going to CIT and taking a minor in comp sci)</p>

<p>I guess this is a more life-ish question.</p>

<p>Someone’s been spending a little too much time basing their life decisions off of US News ;)</p>

<p>All these schools are great in engineering. A CS or ECE degree from Carnegie Mellon will get you a great job doubtless. A CS or ECE degree from any good school will get you a good job as well.</p>

<p>I figure if I minor in comp sci I can take the necessary courses anyways</p>

<p>But it seems like it should make a difference since the admission rate is like 3x higher for CIT.</p>

<p>I’ve partially decided though.</p>
