<p>Which has a higher ad rate for engineering??</p>
<p>Cornell since it has bigger class around 35%</p>
<p>and if you apply early to CU it's really easy, too
and if you're female you get a few extra pts (in general) too!</p>
<p>alrite, let's get something str8. I do not care which one has the highest acceptance rate, but a Cornell engineer can honestly kick the **** of an engineer at columbia or penn. Frankly, an engineer at penn or columbia cannot compete with a cornell engineer, point closed. Wharton is a different case, I am not even going there lol :)</p>
<p>i completely agree... if you're thinking of going into engineering, DEFINITELY go cornell... but it may help if u apply ED</p>
<p>Completely disagree. </p>

Then how come there's no statistical evidence to back that up. For example,</p>
<p>Average Salary of Cornell Eng 2004: 51,274

Average Salary of Penn SEAS 2004: 54,688

<p>Penn's was also higher for 2003. I haven't looked at 2002 data, however. I don't think salary is the best way of comparing engineering schools, and as a school considered as a whole, Cornell's engineering program is more well-known. But those data does by all means disprove that a Penn engineer cannot compete with a Cornell engineer.</p>
<p>But I have no intention to bash Cornell because it's a good school too. Cornell engineering accepted me as well and I know that they have an excellent program. (But that doesn't mean that Penn doesn't) :)</p>
<p>i would also consider which area of engineering you're interested in. </p>
<p>you know, in general, if you really want to go into engineering (ie top schools for engineering), going to an ivy isn't the best. generally.</p>
<p>Yeah that's ridiculous. Most Penngineers I know turned down Cornell (including me). Cornell reputation in engineering research in fields except bioengineering is certaintly better, but at an undergrad level, the students are about the same, with Penn ones being more well rounded and business oriented.</p>
<p>I've always heard that Berkeley and Cornell engineering was amazing but I don't know what evidence exists, but those seem to be the general reputations</p>
<p>The top engineering programs are Stanford, MIT, Berkeley and Caltech.</p>
<p>Princeton, Georgia Tech, Illinois are also pretty strong.</p>
<p>Penn's bioengg and chem engg are rated higher thatn Cornell's...4th and 5th nationally. Also, you don't die at penn...the competition is far from cut throat...and we don't have nets under our bridges;)</p>
