Yea, WPI is a great school. I think its better then MIT for undergrad just becasue it specalizes in undergrad teaching. Im going to apply and its top 5



I’d have trouble believing that WPI has a better undergraduate program then MIT (MIT has more resources, recruiting power, money, etc.), but I haven’t gotten to WPI yet so I could be misled.

As for the salary survey, that’s very interesting. I’m surprised that WPI would have a higher median income than RPI but perhaps WPI does better because less of their students become college professors (who obviously make less than professional engineers). Also I have to wonder if there is some sampling bias in the pay scale statistics. I mean, did they get an equal number of people responding from all the schools?
