| I disagree with that. I don't think UIUC and Michigan's reputations are the same as purdue and wisconsin. When I was applying to engineering schools out of high school(New England), nobody I knew really considered Purdue, it may rank well, because of the research output, and be a top choice for instate students, but it's still a one dimensional second tier school. If you look at the job survey for Purdue you'll see that a great majority of people work in the midwest as an engineer, and I think it's a great option if that's what you want to do only. |
