<p>The global ranking that applejack cited was probably The U.S. News World’s Best Universities ranking (based on the QS World University Rankings). Stanford is ranked 11th there, while Cornell is 15th. However, the better list for you might be the ranking of best graduate engineering schools put out by USNWR, where Stanford is 2nd, and Cornell is 10th. (I list these with the usual caveat that every ranking methodology has its flaws.)</p>

<p>Additionally, Cornell’s standing in engineering is likely to rise in upcoming years as the NYC Tech Campus begings to take root and bear fruit.</p>
