according to the rankings umass business is ahead. But if you look into it NC State is a bit harder to get into.

NC State had a higher incoming SAT, GPA, % in the top 20% of class, and an admit rate of 50% (63% for UMass). $5000 less tuition a year as well for OOS. Might be tougher to get into because U Mass might just have more available spaces for incoming students. I’m not very sure. I do know that rankings really don’t mean much unless you are in the top 10 or so anyway so all are great choices. Personally if all things were equal… I’d rather live in Amherst than Raleigh.

I did search UMass and it’s connections to the auto industry. Come up with nothing. Could be the worst possible choice out of all your schools listed if you wanted connections to the industry.

Last Career fair Umass had 80 companies show up. Pales in comparison to the 372 at NC State. I would REALLY worry about that if I went to UMass.
