<p>I'm so torn. This is for masters in chemical engineering, by the way
Texas A&M has an excellent reputation overall for engineering (ranked 12) in the nation. But ranked much lower for chemical engineering(usually in the low 20's or 30's)</p>
<p>University of Florida is ranked 20 in chemical engineering.</p>
<p>Which school is more 'prestigious' in terms of how highly regarded they are by recruiters/ phd admissions?</p>
<p>Texas A&M has an awesome alumni network. If you’re looking for a job in industry after your PHD, I would go there. If looking for a job in academia, see which professors are doing research you’re interested in. If you want to work in the oil industry, Texas A&M, hands down.</p>
<p>hey sorry…i meant im going to Texas A&M for my masters. But say after im done with my masters i apply to a top 5 school for my PhD. Which school would be more respected/impressive to the admissions committee?</p>
