<p>For the departments the three schools share MIT is either better than or (worst case) equal to Penn and Michigan (including my major). It’s not like Penn or Michigan are too far behind though (like top 5 vs top 10-15). However, for the departments MIT doesn’t have, Michigan and Penn are far greater than it (wonder why?). In conclusion, Penn and Michigan are better than MIT for the simple fact that I say so and my word is final.</p>
<p>I really do like MIT and hope to go there for grad school. Probably a pipe dream though.</p>
