How to deal with rejection letter?

Even if we did attend two engineering schools, the second is likely to be easier because we have some experience with engineering and are also more mature.

<p>I took courses at two schools at the same time (Cal State Long Beach and UCLA), and I could easily tell which one was more difficult. Long Beach is not an easy school, but it was not as hard as UCLA. I’m really curious about which schools you are comparing.</p>

<p>

The conclusion that I have come to is that most or all of the ABET accredited colleges have a challenging and difficult engineering program and that generally the programs are all about the same level of difficulty. It’s unscientific and unprovable but I would think if some schools had easy engineering programs, I’d see a lot of students from that school saying it was really easy.

<p>Sure, they are all challenging and difficult. Engineering is a difficult field. But some schools are just over the top hard. I didn’t go to one of those schools, but I’ve looked at their exams and I can admit it. But if you think the typical state university is of equal rigor to Caltech, I suppose nobody can dissuade you.</p>
