FutureIvyL:
Sharf's got it. The reason SEAS is rnked so low is that it isn't an engineering-intensive program. It's basically students who want to go to Columbia, but focus more on Math + Science than the regular Core Curriculum. It's ranked so low (although still above all other Ivy Engineering with the exception of Cornell) because very few of its students end up being engineers. Moreso than at MIT or other major engineering institutions, its students go on to medical school, law school, wall street, etc.
