<p>^ So where would you place Imperial as an undergraduate? i can’t really gauge them in terms of research output and productivity. I have a healthy respect for them since I work with lots of engineers and most of them think its as good as MIT in the US. I understand they are biased because they are engineers. The problem is that prior to undergrad, some people I know who attended Imperial would not have a shot at a top 20 US university.</p>
