How's SEAS Graduate Program Placement?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>For engineering graduate schools?</p>

<p>For law schools?</p>

<p>For business schools?</p>

<p>For medical schools?</p>

<p>It's essentially commensurate with that of any other top school. The better you do at Columbia and on the standardized tests, the better you're going to fare with your grad applications. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, beyond that.</p>

<p>I'm planning on pursuing graduate studies in chemical engineering all the way up to a Ph.D. after I obtain an undergraduate degree, so I'd like to know ChemE graduate school placement for an idea of how grad schools perceive SEAS.</p>

<p>Not as strong for law or med simply because of grade deflation. If you want to go to law or med school you want to go to the most prestigious school where you can get a high GPA. Stanford and Brown come to mind.</p>

<p>I know ChemE kids my year who went on to do PhD's at MIT and Duke. SEAS is a top-tier engineering school and you'll get into a good PhD program if you do well in college.</p>

<p>Do you have any solid proof that schools like Stanford / Brown have more grade inflation for ENGINEERING? Engineering is obviously less grade inflated at any school (and I wouldn't say it's deflated at SEAS). Lets compare apples to apples.</p>

<p>Is it really that hard to earn a good GPA at SEAS?</p>

<p>No I agree Columbia 2002 that engineering classes will be equally deflatory at all schools. I should have refrased this; for those pursuing med and particularly law I wouldn't recommend engineering at a top school unless you are certain you can excel in science classes with harsh curves.</p>

<p>Yeah, slipper and I are on the same page.</p>
