Is Penn engineering good?

<p>How do you guys think of Penn SEAS (besides Biomedical and Chemical engineering)? Is it strong or weak relatively to other schools in the same tier (Ivy, stanford...)? Does it have good reputation in sending students to top engineering grad schools like MIT, Stanford, Cornell? Are there any points in applying ED to Penn SEAS?<br>
All comments are appreciated</p>

<p>Among the Ivies, only Cornell has an engineering program on par with its reputation.</p>

It’s obviously not Stanford or MIT, but it’s ranked a respectable #26.</p>

<p>Is it because of penn’s strong bio and chem departments that it’s ranked #26? I mean if we don’t consider bio and chem engineering, will its rank get even lower?</p>

<p>it’s ivy caliber in terms of job placement. the department isn’t the best ranked out there, but who cares about rankings?</p>

<p>It’s ultimately what you bring to the party. I’ve heard of a lot of seniors getting top jobs after Penn SEAS, but if you slack off, obviously that won’t happen. It’s a tough program, but I’ve found that people like it. Lots of international students do it, and I don’t think they would have come all the way here if it weren’t a good program.</p>

<p>thanks for all the comments,
i just want to make sure whether it’s actually good because its ranking is quite low and many people said that it’s only average</p>
