How much harder is the mechanical engineering program at UC Berkeley than UCLA?

<p>I am trying to find out how much more difficult the program is at Berkeley, because those are the two schools I am actually considering to attend (out of everywhere I was accepted), and the difficulty is a important aspect in picking the school for me. I understand that Berkeley is known to have a better ME program, but I’d still like to know how much more rigorous it is.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>The engineering program at both schools will be tough, just because Berkeley and LA tend to accept the same type of applicants.</p>

<p>However, since Berkeley’s mechanical engineering program is ranked 2, while UCLA’s is ranked 19 according to the 2010 USNews rankings, I’d assume that at Berkeley, one would have to live up to more expectations in that department.</p>
