<p>Consider this: Most people who want to go to top engineering schools do not want the regular 9-5 engineering job. They actually want to make a difference through science by applying their talents.</p>
<p>I understand your point, but the difference between the engineering major at ‘any’ school and engineering at Cornell, MIT, Caltech, or Harvard is obvious. Students who study engineering at top schools are going to get the BEST engineering education to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the world. </p>
<p>That’s just my two cents. :)</p>
