<p>“If you are looking for a solid program from which you will learn a lot and land plenty of job offers and graduate school acceptance letters, AVOID chemical engineering programs at UCB, and elite schools in general. Even at private elite schools with small classes, there is a lot of grade inflation (more A’s given out for a given caliber of student), hand-holding and spoon-feeding. You will have an easy ride because you won’t be expected to do much independent thinking (from what I have heard from the grad students in my department who attended places like Princeton and Stanford anyway).”</p>

<p>so you are saying both of these schools would be overmatched by large public universities such as GA Tech, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin</p>

<p>I’m not saying that - the OP in the thread I referenced is a graduate student at UCB and that’s what he says.</p>
