<p>I wouldn’t say RPI is “on par” with Cornell, Cornell being much larger, better endowed, better liberal arts etc. But I’m sure the education received can be comparable at both schools. </p>
<p>However I do agree with rico2 that RPI has come a long way in the past decade or so. There was recently a really interesting article on “The Rensselaer Plan” in the Chronicle for Higher Education : <a href=“Martin A. Schmidt '81, Ph.D. | Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute”>Martin A. Schmidt '81, Ph.D. | Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; </p>
<p>Also, as a side note I’d rank RHIT above WPI from the accolades I’ve heard its the best in the midwest.</p>
