<p>“hypsm” are not best in every discipline. For engineering, “hyp” is no where near the level of Purdue. In fact, Purdue beats every ivy except Cornell in engineering.</p>

<p>This statement is ridiculous. You just happen to pick 3 out of 4 fields where MIT is ranked #1.</p>
<p>The cornell website said so. There was one corner where they accounced that they moved back the due date to Jan 7th, even tho the main deadline page still says Jan 1st.</p>
<p>Someone has written that depending on your criteria any school can be in a top ten list, so the question is do you agree with the criteria of the ranking system. If your concern is engineering, as stated, then this might be a more relevant ranking than the one mentioned in post 11.</p>
<p>To parallel what Mr. B said, here is the US News’ Undergrad Engineering ranking:</p>
<ol>
<li>Massachusetts Inst. of Technology</li>
<li>Stanford University</li>
<li>University of CaliforniaBerkeley</li>
<li>California Institute of Technology</li>
<li>U. of IllinoisUrbana-Champaign</li>
<li>Georgia Institute of Technology</li>
<li>University of MichiganAnn Arbor</li>
<li>Carnegie Mellon University</li>
<li>Cornell University</li>
<li>Purdue Univ.West Lafayette
11.University of TexasAustin</li>
<li>Princeton University</li>
<li>Univ. of WisconsinMadison</li>
</ol>
<p>Purdue has always been a good engineering school.</p>
