U of T Vs. Cornell Engineering (Undergrad)

<p>Okay, for some reason, all the rankings place UFT pretty high on engineering rankings. So I'm assuming that only applies to grad school, right?</p>

<p>I know that UFT is only good for Grad school and it's not that great for undergrad. </p>

<p>And I also know that UFT is way easier to get in than Cornell. UFT pretty much accepts everyone with 92+ for Eng Sci (which is the hardest Engineering program to get into in UFT) while Cornell is way more selective, much less predictable. </p>

<p>So what do you think? </p>

<p>Which is better- prestige and quality wise?</p>

<p>

How do you “know” that?</p>

<p>Anyway, the EngSci program has a very good reputation. I don’t think you would regret choosing it. Are you a Canadian citizen?</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m a Cdn citizen so I only pay like 10 K, and I can live at home.</p>

<p>Actually, I heard that Eng Sci isn’t that well-known. It’s only well-known within the U of T students (and maybe a few other engineering students in other universities)… and then there’s the rest of the city who doesn’t know how rigorous Eng Sci is. And I’m only speaking Toronto-wise, so I can imagine how the rest of the world would not know about Eng Sci. </p>

<p>I know because I’m a Torontonian.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that Eng Sci in U of T isn’t that well known either, at least not as well known as it should be. Why is that, do you think? I’ve heard people say that they’d rather go to RPI than U of T, and considering the world rankings, it’s hard to understand why. I’m talking about grad school.</p>

<p>It’s a cycle. People don’t want to go to EngSci just because it’s not that well known, and so the amount of work is not worth the degree. </p>

<p>And EngSci is only an undergrad program. It supposedly prepares students for grad school, but it’s really not worth the work. EngSci’s have 27+ hours of class a week and study many hours each day.</p>
