<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>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>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>
