Top ranked or cheaper college ..?

@tk21769 I meant USN engineering rankings. Most of the colleges S applied and got into are in Top 100… Purdue and TAMU being at the top of the list.

Can someone comment on the relative ease of completing the degree in 4 years among those I have listed above? At the end of the day, I think CGPA earned at the end of the degree should make a difference in graduate admissions. Probably it makes more sense to get into a strong engg school where it is also relatively easier to graduate quickly and with a higher CGPA? In this context, have heard Purdue is a tough school insofar as grading is concerned. Any thoughts in this area…??
