<p>thanks so much sakky. your point made a lot of sense. and yes, i bet if I did get an MBA, I would not want to do engineering anymore. a quick question, what are "soft skills", is that people skills? </p>
<p>I guess the only reason I am so persistent in saying I wanna get a MS or MEng is because I know if could get one for cheap and fast (almost free/one year) at UMD-CP, the college I am in now. It is ranked #16 in EE for grad. But like you said, undergrad and the school's name in general is not that represented. people always ask about the basketball team when I tell them I am from maryland. and also about the MS / MEng, I know it is much easier to get one than an MBA. I am afriad if I pass on the MS, and regret it if I do not get into a school for my MBA.</p>
<p>I am definitely considering top 10 / big name schools, such as cornell for my MS, for networking purposes in addition to academics.</p>
