<p>If the comments of the guy I linked in post #13 are correct, I dont think it would be particularly hard to turn down Berkely engineering at all. Actually. leaving aside his other comments, the notion of possibly impacted majors, and that you have to commit to a particular engineering sub-specialty before you even set foot on campus, seems horrible to me. For one thing. Berkeley’s Phd program has a great reputation but we’re talking undergrad here, and Cornell’s engineers are held in high regard.</p>
