<p>I am a rising senior with good stats (4.0 UW GPA, 1530 CR/M SAT, 720 Chem, 770 Math II) and am interested in the following engineering programs (leaning towards majoring in chemical engineering):</p>
<p>Illinois-UC
GA Tech
Cornell
Michigan</p>
<p>I know all of them are ranked very closely on those rankings one finds on the 'net so I want to hear from people, which one is the best?</p>
<p>UIUC, GATech, and UMich are the best if you know that you want engineering. i would also throw in Purdue. They are all exceptional engineering schools.
cornell would give you a greater breadth in education, better if you just think you might want engineering.
usnwr rank from top to bottom (though the differences are subjective and negligible):
UIUC
GaTech
UMich
Cornell</p>
<p>These are all pretty good. Assuming all are good fits and you get accepted to all, I'd go with the one with the best financial aid offer.</p>
<p>In terms of quality, they are all equal. I agree with Ken. Go for the school that makes the most financial sense and for the school where you would fit in best.</p>
