I read similar stats about it. My daughter applied for the BME program and Mechanical as the second option. She knew it would be very competitive for the BME program. She was accepted into UMD Honors for ME, and waiting to hear from GA Tech, her first choice, where she was deferred. One of her friends with a perfect ACT and 4.0 GPA was also waitlisted.
“Much higher ranked”? Its literally top 10 in the country.
Depends on the program and depends on which site you look. World News puts Hopkins 13th for ME. Virginia Tech is 14th.
well, to name a few….MIT, Stanford, Cal Tech, Ga Tech, Michigan, Illinois, Purdue, Cornell, etc. JHU for ME is ranked close to duke around 13-18. Still an awesome school and very highly regarded.
