Ranking and Engineering

<p>I know places like US News and what not do rankings, but do you really think that IIT is that much lower than other schools? My brother goes to IIT and it seems to give a really good educatioin. He said that IIT actually was competing with MIT at one time for rank. So I want to go into chemical engineering. Would IIT be a good choice that is guaranteed to give me a good education that will allow me to be competitive in the workforce?</p>
