<p>It seems like a lot of these types of posts don't get many replies but I figured I would post anyway. This is for engineering. I got into:
University of Michigan (in-state tuition)
Georgia Tech
Cooper Union
Cornell
Penn (M&T program)</p>
<p>Which one should I go to? I like the atmosphere of Cornell the best, the price of Cooper Union the best and then Wharton keeps drawing me to penn.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>What engineering field(s) interest you? Do you plan to become a practicing engineer in that field, or are you more interested in investment banking and business consulting?</p>
<p>Is cost a very significant issue? How big are the out-of-pocket cost differences?</p>
<p>I would do electrical engineering. I don’t know what I want to do with my life but I have always been interested in business and engineering combined, not something like investment banking. The private schools would cost me around 40k, michigan would be around 22k and cooper union is free. I am still waiting to hear back from georgia tech on aid.</p>
<p>bumpbumpety bump I really need some help here. I only have about a week to decide whether I need to hop on a plane and go to these admitted students days.</p>
<p>Definitely go Penn M&T. It’s a very prestigious program and the degree will pay off.</p>
<p>Re-post this with a title like “Electrical engineering - U Mich, Cornell, Cooper Union, GA Tech, or Penn?” That way people who know about the specific field of study are more likely to find it. Several parents here are working engineers and/or are responsible for hiring engineers. They will be able to tell you if there is a difference between these programs.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, as long as an engineering program is accredited by ABET, the differences between them are minimal and it is safe to choose the one that is the least expensive for you. Run your numbers here, and see what the cost differences are really like: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid)</p>
<p>thanks for the advice. I’ll do that</p>
