School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
I have been to Columbia and I do not think SEAS is looked down upon in any way. Rankings never seem to reflect the entire picture of a school. I think every school of engineering has its own flavor. MIT is intense-hardcore engineering, Fu is very theoretical from what I've heard (and of course, famous for the 'Core'), and my school, ASU, is very industry-centric and takes a more job-oriented approach. Every place is different-it just matters whether you like what you see or not.
That said, I personally loved SEAS (and just Columbia as a whole). That's why I want to transfer there.
