<p>Thanks. I am interested in doing research/internships and while courses are not my favoirte thing in the world, I will fortunately have the luxury to choose the course that I want to do at WPI and I guess that will help me do well.</p>
<p>I think size is probably the main issue along with the fact that there is a lot of international competition for electrical engineering and computer science grad school compared to mechanical/civil engineering and the BS/MS program also looks like a good program for someone who wants to attend a high tier doctotal program. Plus they have good industry relations that will ensure me a good job if I do reasonably well.</p>
