<p>I think you might be looking into rankings a bit too much. Just because a school has a higher ranking doesn’t necessarily mean the work is going to be harder and the students smarter. I go to Texas A&M which is ranked higher than Florida, but I don’t think the work is more challenging here than at Florida. If a school is ABET accredited, you are going to be covering very similar concepts. </p>
<p>I would put some weight in the rankings, it’s a good tool. But saying that graduating from Georgia Tech with an engineering degree is a better accomplishment than graduating from Florida I don’t agree with. If you graduate with the same GPA as a student that went to Florida, then you might have an argument.</p>
