<p>I don't think many people on this forum will know anything about Shanghai Jiao Tong. But, many people on this forum CAN tell you that overall, Michigan is one of the country's best schools. It's engineering program (among MANY other disciplines) is tops, and being in-state should seal the deal.</p>

<p>Well, if you are Chinese (hopefully fluent in Mandarin), then Shanghai would be a good choice- not very hard for an engineer to find a job in China these days! </p>

<p>As for should we laugh. Not at all. Shanghai is one of the leading universities in China, and will become very influential as China's surging tide raises all its boats, including this one.</p>

<p>Chinese universities are producing graduates at such a high rate that it's nearly impossible for a college graduate to get a job without "connections." Even graduates from the two best universities in the nation (Beijing and Qinghua University) cannot find jobs so they pursue further studies in America.</p>
