U of W vs. Psu

<p>i'm an international student. My major is Mech. Engg.</p>

<p>I've got no aid from either of them. And location doesn't matter.</p>

<p>UWash as a university is ranked way ahead of psu(UP) in rankings but my major is ranked higher in psu.</p>

<p>Which one should I go to ?</p>

<p>Which school do you mean by “PSU”?</p>

<p>Note that most rankings tend to be weighted toward the graduate programs. Are you looking for undergrad? And are you already admitted to ME at UW?</p>

<p>I mean Penn State University, University Park.</p>

<p>yes i’m an undergrad and no i am not currently admitted to ME at UW</p>

<p>So if you are guaranteed to be in ME at Penn State, and really don’t have any strong preferences between the two, I think that would decide it for me. You do run the risk of not getting accepted into ME at UW.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>From what people tell me, getting accepted into ME at UW is not at all difficult.</p>

<p>so other than that, UW is better, right?</p>

<p>How hard is it really, to get ME at UW?
And what year do you get it sophomore or junior?</p>

<p>Look here on the timing and process:</p>

<p>[UW</a> Mechanical Engineering Department - Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.me.washington.edu/prospective/undergraduate/]UW”>http://www.me.washington.edu/prospective/undergraduate/)</p>

<p>I can’t find any stats, but they do say this:</p>

<p>“The average GPA for students accepted to the program has been approximately 3.6.”</p>

<p>You might also look at the curriculum at UW vs. PSU, do you get to start on ME classes right away at PSU, or are you just filling pre-reqs and general ed?</p>

<p>no i have gotten general engg at penn state</p>
