<p>My d was accepted to both for Chemical Engineering. Anyone have any thoughts as to which school is better and why?</p>
<p>Chemical Engineering Undergraduate rankings:</p>
<p>UDEL ranked 10th
CMU ranked 15th </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>If rank is an important factor to her, I think that the rankings are close enough that she can make her decision based upon other factors, such as cost, distance, campus preference, etc.</p>
<p>Cost is a factor. CMU is top $</p>
<p>In general I think that CMU has a better reputation, but for Chemical Engineering, UD is very well regarded, as your ratings show. I would go with UD, especially since you say it is cheaper.</p>
<p>CMU may have a better national reputation, but that is mostly the result of their computer science programs. UD has a fabulous chemcial engineering program and the job opprotunities in the local area are unbeatable, DuPont and Gore literally next door. So much recruitment is straight from UD. I live in the local area and cannot tell you the number of engineers around me. I would most certainly pick UD, save money, either go to grad school or just have a bunch of money left over. For engineering it is the way to go.</p>
