Northwestern vs. Duke vs. Yale

<p>Three majors → electrical engineering, computer science. Which one is the best one in these two areas?</p>

<p>Here are NRC’s rankings (5th and 95th percentile):</p>

<p>Electrial & Computer Engineering
Duke
S ranking: 10 & 40
R ranking: 30 & 58</p>

<p>Northwestern
S ranking: 8 & 29
R ranking: 20 & 38</p>

<p>Yale
S ranking: 6 & 24
R ranking: 21 & 46</p>

<p>Computer Sciences
Duke
S ranking: 9 & 36
R ranking: 14 & 27</p>

<p>Northwestern
S ranking: 26 & 69
R ranking: 42 & 73</p>

<p>Yale
S ranking: 17 & 59
R ranking: 31 & 52</p>

<p>The differences among the three aren’t significant even at the graduate level. The difference at the undergrad level is probably negligible.</p>

<p>I would go to Stanford or maybe Berkeley. The network in the Bay area and opportunities are so much better than any other place in the country. After that maybe Harvard or MIT which also have incredible networks in those areas.</p>

<p>Those are not the only universities I’m considering. I just wanna know which one is the best one from the options I’ve mentioned.</p>

<p>You can never go wrong with Yale.</p>
