<p>I have noticed that many people have applied to Viterbi. Does anybody have any info as far as the program is concerned, how it compares to others, etc.... Also, I have been accepted to biomed/electrical engineering, so if anyone wants to share some info about that program I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks ppl!</p>
<p>All that I've managed to figure out is that they have a pretty new building.</p>
<p>I've read that it's ranked sixth among private engineering colleges, so it's supposed to be very good.</p>
<p>6th for grad school</p>
<p>Its a great grad school...and they just finished (well, its not done quite yet) a brand new building specifically for undergrads...</p>
<p>So far I've heard good things about it's grad school... has anyone found out about their <em>undergrad</em> programs, since that's what we'd be in?</p>
<p>US News ranks the UG program #22 in the nation tied with Duke, UCLA, UCSD, UMaryland, and UWash. </p>
<p>Lot of money going into Viterbi right now. Wouldn't be surprised to see the school make a significant jump in the rankings by the time you guys graduate.</p>
<p>Wait, I don't quite get this stuff. If the same teachers teach the grad and undergrad students, how can there be a differenece in the 2 programs?</p>
<p>I'm sure the curriculum differs, for one...</p>
<p>Undergrads are probably more likely to be in big classes. Also, I would think that a rating that's undergraduate would include the GE classes at USC that I've heard not-the-greatest things about.</p>
<p>I've read a lot of good things about Thematic Option.</p>
<p>I am wondering whether I would get the same engineering education from USC as compared to a school like UTAustin. I know USNEWS doesn't rank accurately.</p>
<p>UT:Austin seems to have a bueracracy of doom. Housing is also a severe mess and in shortage there. I don't actually know about the academics, but if you PM me I can put you in touch with a CS freshman, I think, if he's willing.</p>
