<p>thx for the post!!!</p>
<p>Thanks a LOT Kharatos!</p>
<p>I never knew Purdue was so good.</p>
<p>THANKS Father of the Boarder THAT LIST WAS REALLY USEFUL</p>
<p>BTW what is peer assessment????????????? does anyone know?</p>
<p>Deloar just posted this on the "Elitism within CC, US News" thread. I think everyone should read it.</p>
<p>In January 1997, then-president of Alma College, Alan Stone, asked 480 colleges to boycott the U.S. News and World Report Rankings due to the peer assessment survey which counts for 25% of a college's ranking. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, in 1996, Alma College surveyed 158 colleges about the rankings. The result of the survey indicated that "84 per cent of the respondents admitted that they were unfamiliar with some of the institutions they had been asked to rank. Almost 44 per cent indicated that they 'tended to leave responses for unfamiliar schools blank.' " Stone stated, "this makes me wonder just how many votes are being considered for each school's academic-reputation ranking."

<p>In other words, peer assessment means that people in academia are asked what they think of school X. Imagine you're a peer assessor, who is, for example, a chemistry professor who's on the admissions committee at Princeton. Someone asks you what you think of Harvard. You say Harvard's very good. Someone asks you what you think of Flagler College. You leave it blank.</p>
<p>Now, maybe Flagler is the greatest college in the world for underwater basketweaving, but the peer assessor is never going to know that, unfortunately. These peer assessors don't know everything... Nobody can. So with rankings, the rich keep getting richer (everyone knows that HYPSM rock and the majority are going to say so, unless they're argumentative) and the poor keep getting poorer ("You go to Rider? That's nice! Where's that?").</p>
<p>So delve a little deeper. Use rankings as a starting point, but don't put so much stock in them. You may find your dream college in a corner of the country that's been unexplored by chemistry professors from Princeton.</p>
<p>aibarr ya i only wanted to know what that was. Thanks for the info. You are very informative as usual.</p>
<p>Which schools are generous for international students? I mean Financial aid</p>
<p>For graduate school admissions, would there be an advantage to applying from a bachelor's degree program at a PhD level school vs a bachelor's degree program at a BS only level school?</p>
<p>Not necessarily. That's sort of one of those case-by-case things. There are some engineering LACs that are really well known in the academic world and place a lot of their graduates in really top-notch grad programs (Olin, HMC, RH). There may be a bit of an edge if you're going straight from the undergrad program into the grad program of the same university, but that holds true only for some universities.</p>
<p>Is rank 57 for best undergraduate engineering program good?</p>
<p>The 2009 US News rankings for engineering grad schools has released.</p>
<p>Search</a> - Engineering - Best Graduate Schools - Education - USNews</p>
<p>If anyone gets the undergrad rankings, please please do post them here..</p>
<p>can someone post the list for industrial engineering for undergrads that only go up to masters?</p>
<p>cdroyer</p>
<p>Undergraduate engineering specialties:
Industrial / Manufacturing
(At schools whose highest degree is a bachelor's or master's)
Methodology
1 Kettering University (MI)
2 Cal Poly–San Luis Obispo *
3 Bradley University (IL)
4 Milwaukee School of Engineering
4 San Jose State University (CA)*</p>
<p>Can someone post the NEW petroleum engineering rankings, particularly Undergraduate studies? Thanks you</p>
<p>For CS I was only able to find graduate school rankings

<p>Father of the border</p>
<p>can you give complete list for all faculties?</p>
<p>Why should someone going to undergrad ignore the discrepancies between a university's undergrad and graduate rankings....like caltech..many of the engineering programs shoot up for graduate...why..why the difference</p>
