<p>I agree with the above poster that RPI is probably the best in terms of academics. I believe though that you want to make sure that you can excel at the school you go to. So if you really dislike the school setting itself you might not want to go there because it will prevent you from excelling, and of course a 3.7 GPA is much better from a slightly lower ranked university than a lower GPA from a slightly higher university.</p>
<p>So essentially, because these schools are so similar, it seems as if you could move on to considering where you feel most comfortable.</p>
