<p>Hey Guys,
Right now I am considering some prestigious engineering schools (Mechanical Engineering) and heard that Penn has great engineering program (overshadowed by Warton and CAS though, which i didnt notice it.)</p>
<p>What are the merits of Penn, compared to the "powerhouses" of engineers such as UIUC, U Michigan, Georgia Tech engineering? does Penn have smaller classes and more individual attention than the public universities?
And what about the internship opportunities and undergraduate research?
which one has more advantage to get in engineering graduate schools? I heard that getting good grades in the public universtities (Especially Engineering) is much harder than getting grades in the private universtities. </p>
<p>Is it really true that many engineering students aim to transfer to wharton?</p>
<p>Other than that, does the ranking really matter?
i want to get decent undergraduate education to prepare the graduate studies. </p>
<p>Thanks for your responses.</p>
