Caltech, Stanford, Cal, and Harvey Mudd are on the same tier with Purdue, Michigan, Illinois, CM.
The other ones are good schools, but in a distinctly second tier to that group.
- rxhernandez 5y agoYou think UCLA, USC, and UCSD are second tier? Last I checked, UCSD is #9 for engineering in the nation, which is above UIUC at #10. USC is #12 and UCLA is #16 relative to Columbia at #15, John Hopkins at #17, Harvard at #21, Princeton at #22, and UW at #22. What on earth do you mean by second tier?
- N1H1L 5y agoStanford and Berkeley are amazing, Caltech is definitely tier 2, while Harvey Mudd is not even an R2 school
- today20201014 5y agoHarvey Mudd is an undergraduate-only college. All the others are R1 institutions.
- jerrybender 5y agoThe two Cal Polys are not R1 institutions, they do not offer PhDs.
- ensan 5y agoThat’s such an ignorant statement. For example, when it comes to hardware & electrical engineering, UCSD alone is as productive as say Purdue & Illinois combined. And it’s a young university too.
- N1H1L 5y agoAnd when it comes to materials science, Penn State will run circles around all of them.
- wolverine876 5y agoCaltech, Standford, and Berkeley are well ahead of the Midwestern schools.
- hailvectron 5y ago"Ahead" by what metric? Perceived prestige level by the layperson?
- wolverine876 5y agoBy professionals and by their peers. By what metric are the Midwestern schools on the same level?
