UVA Yale or Cornell for Electrical Engineering/CS

ok I guess I misunderstood, and these are where you really got in already.

I think it depends in part on what your goals are.

If you want to be a working engineer there are probably certain aspects of it that will be well covered at Yale, likely not comprehensive coverage of the field. My guess is more Yale engineering grads want to go on to Wall Street or go on to research degrees. But these are just my guesses I do not know much about it. I have met Harvard engineering grads, none of them worked as engineers. I met them on Wall street, not when I worked as an engineer. I have never encountered a Yale engineering grad.

If your working interests are uncertain but , as far as engineering, almost certainly fall into the areas of the field that Yale covers well, then I personally would go to Yale. Not because of its engineering department but because it is Yale.
Admittedly, this opinion is partly shaped by my years working on Wall Street.
Recognizing that, on this path, you likely will not wind up working as a “regular” electrical engineer. Or you will, but only in certain areas of practice maybe.

If you want the best engineering school, because you want to be an engineer, but maybe aren’t exactly sure what kind yet, then go to Cornell. If you like UVA a lot better you can go to UVA. It may not be as recruited nationally though.

edit: I now seem to recall that Yale was putting more money into its engineering department. FWIW.
