<p>This is what it's down to. I also would like to at least minor in economics or some business-related field. My ultimate academic goal is an MBA from Harvard or Wharton. I'm beginning to lean towards Penn because my Penn interviewer came out of Penn Engineering and earned a Wharton MBA, but NYC is so awesome. Thoughts? Opinions?</p>
<p>Penn>>>>>>Columbia SEAS</p>
<p>I must say Cornell Engineering</p>
<p>mooooooooot point for me now!!! unexpected acceptance PRINCETON!!!</p>
<p>congrats on princeton anonymous! i wish i had gotten that...hahah...but now i am stuck deciding columbia seas vs penn seas. i got into schools that are better for engineering than columbia or penn, but im not really looking to do engineering for a career or anything...just a major that i would enjoy undergrad then off to med school. right now im really wavering between the two....so input would really be appreciated.</p>
<p>hm in that case columbia has a great med school. you might get good opportunities there.</p>
<p>If you think you wanna do undergrad engin as pre-med, then check out Penn's BAS in Biomedical Science. Its a slimmed down version of the traditional BSE in Bioengineering, and you can fit your pre-med req courses nicely.</p>
<p>can someone please help me by advising me a bit? I can't seem to decide between Penn Engineering and Columbia Fu. I plan to major in either chemical or mech engineering as an undergraduate and plan to go to a top notch grad school when i am finished. Does anyone know nething about the two programs and how they compare to each other?</p>
<p>slvrclk, if you are looking to study engineering not to be an engineer but as a major you would enjoy, you might want to go with Penn over Columbia. You might decide to abandon engineering (it is a difficult and time consuming major) and Penn is very flexible. You can easily transfer out of engineering. Also, Penn has some program where seniors can start taking classes at its medical school. At Columbia, if you decide you don't want to continue with engineering, you are not guaranteed a spot in their college. There is some formal transfer process. This is just one thing to consider in making your decision.</p>
