How prominent is Engineering/Computer Science at Top Colleges?

<p>The quality of the engineering program is such that every Smith College engineering student with a 3.5 GPA is guaranteed admission to the graduate engineering schools at Princeton, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Notre Dame, and University of Michigan.</p>

<p>Not to insult the power of the program, but it’s not like any of those schools are engineering powerhouses (except Mich). I would say that most female graduates from top-notch engineering programs with 3.5s would be more or less shoo-ins in these programs.</p>
