<p>So Ive applied to 8 schools. 7 were for MEng or MS in structural engineering (Lehigh, Carnegie mellon, UMD, Virginia Tech, U Del, Drexel, and Temple), and 1 was for MS Architectural engineering (Penn State). Ive received 2 acceptance letters so far....didnt get into Carnegie, but got into Lehigh. According to US News and World Report, Virginia Tech is the highest ranked of all the schools i listed for Master's of Civil Engineering programs. However, after talking to some people on here, they said not to necessarily go by US News since the search was for civil (and not more specifically structural). Also, from what Ive been told, Lehigh has the largest structural testing facility in the nation and is very well know for there structural engineering. that being said, I limited my 2 top choices to Virginia Tech and Lehigh. Obviously Im already admitted to Lehigh. Assuming I got into Virginia Tech as well, which would you choose and why? Or if you think another school I applied to is top, please let me know and give your reasoning. Thanx!</p>
