<p>I'm having trouble deciding between the three for structural engineering. I got into Stanford but I'm still waiting for Berkeley and MIT. Right my preference is Berkeley but I feel that Stanford and MIT have a bigger name and I'm more interested in establishing a career in research. Any insight on the graduate programs at these schools?</p>
<p>I made this decision last year and am at Stanford now. Are you going for a Ph.D. with starting with a 5 quarter plan at Stanford? MIT is undistinguished for Structural Engineering. Coming out of Berkeley, you will be more prepared. But Stanford will be more enjoyable due to easier grading and a more collegiate atmosphere. Visit these schools and get a feel if you can.</p>
<p>Additionally, feel free to PM me your aim and we can discuss further.</p>
