Undergrad prestige when applying to grad school

[CSmajor5]

<p>

within Texas, Rice is the top respected school, even more so than Ivies. Also, for graduate school, all of the schools around the world will respect the Rice EE program.

</p>

<p>Highly doubt this. Texas Instrument hired most of their EE from UT Austin and Georgia Tech. Rice have great EE program but you passed on MIT for RICE? YOU MAD? and you decided this by a coin flip? </p>

<p>

The reason I can say this is because, for a few of my courses, we used the MIT equivalent course’s material for a practice quiz and it was a joke compared to what was given for our actual exam.

</p>

<p>wow you have the balls to say Rice EE program is better than MIT program. I know someone in MIT and he’s now working for the government. He studied literally 6~8 hours per day during the week for his EE program so don’t even compare Rice and MIT. </p>

<p>

In short, go where you will get more financial aid / scholarship money and are happier because each one will carry equivalent weight for admission into graduate school and each has well-respected faculty for good reference letters.

<p>I bet you took the full scholarship that are offered to several students who have great GPA and SAT score in high school. I know Vanderbilt and Rice give out lots of full tuition scholarship to attract more students to their school. Seriously, Stanford’s EE program will give you better outcome in education and job. Don’t listen to biased opinion from Rice who claims its EE program outranks MIT.</p>
