yeah, harvey mudd has a great engineering program ... but, that's it. Schools like Cornell and Stanford have the benefits being schools with more than just engineering programs. An engineer at Cornell can take a load of electives in music or english or a foreign language. These schools also have ultra-prestigious names that can carry a person far ... HM isn't a household name.

<p>I thought the OP made it pretty clear that he wanted to talk just about engineering. </p>
<p>I also didn't realize that household prestige was a factor. IF so, then why not talk about Harvard and Yale too? These schools have uber-prestige.</p>
