<p>Can you guys tell me the relative strength of the following schools for EE, and maybe the relative difficulty for getting accepted?</p>

<p>In no particular order:
UCB
UCLA
Cornell
Carnegie Mellon
UIUC
Case Western
Duke
Georgia Tech</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>UCB, UIUC are top I'd say followed by , GA Tech and Cornell, Carnegie, UCLA in that order. Then mayby Case and Duke. UCB is hard if you are not a California resident, as is UCLA. Duke is very competitive. UIUC isn's as hard as the others, neither is GA tech. Both steals if you can get in-state.</p>

3

<p>Have you looked at USC? they have a better program than UCLA, though not on par with UCB and UIUC</p>

4

<p>"they have a better program than UCLA"</p>

<p>this is a joke right?</p>

5

<p>No, not at all. I've heard that from UCLA people</p>

6

<p>Carengie Mellon's EE is top notch I believe. I don't know how it ranks compared to these universities though.</p>
