Which Engineering School is the best

College Search & Lists
1

<p>I was accepted to the two schools listed below and am unable to decide which is the better school with the better program as far as engineering, jobs graduate school and possibly transferring in the future to another school go.
The Adelphi 3-2 Engineering program with Columbia
or
The City College Groove School Of Engineering
please compare these schools in relation also with NYU-Poly, Baruch , Brooklyn ,Hunter , Cooper Union and Cornell as well just to provide indication respectively.</p>

<p>I am not sure what I want to major in but I am leaning towards computer science for both</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help please explain your reasonings as much as possible for either one I really cant decide between the Adelphi 3-2 and the Groove school thank you again in advance.</p>

2

<p>If anyone was in either one of these programs and can explain their perspective their pros and cons and if they would do it over again given the choice that would also be a great help thank you once again</p>

3

<p>An engineering degree from Columbia through the 3-2 program with Adelphi would be best. Cornel has the best engineering program among all of the engineering schools you named.</p>

4

<p>I would look at the threads over in the college majors/engineering board. Do a search and you will find opions on 3+2 programs.</p>

5

<p>If you do a search, you will also probably find that 3 plus 2 programs don’t seem to work for most kids.</p>

<p><a href=“Combined Plan Applicants | Columbia Undergraduate Admissions”>http://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/apply/combined-plan&lt;/a&gt; lists Columbia’s criteria for 3+2 program transfer admissions. Of note:</p>

<ul>
<li>3.30 overall and pre-engineering GPA (calculated by Columbia).</li>
<li>No B- or lower grades in science or math courses.</li>
<li>3 favorable recommendations.</li>
</ul>

<p>Note that Columbia does not guarantee to meet financial need with financial aid for 3+2 program transfer students. In addition, the 3+2 program is 5 years instead of 4.</p>

<p>I appreciate all of your responses they have been very helpful and given me a lot to think about. So while I understand the majority opinion of those of you above is that the 3-2 Columbia engineering program with Adelphi may not be worth it given that the financial aid does not transfer and that the 3.3 GPA requirement can be very hard to maintain across the board for all the 3 years, Please Correct me if I am wrong or if I have misinterpreted what has been said or even if you disagree with this conclusion or find any reason that this conclusion is wrong one please explain
but
then do you recommend the grove school or taking similar undergraduate courses(Calc I/II , Physics I/II , Eng I ect.) in another CUNY such as Baruch Brooklyn or Hunter(given their proximity to me and trying to transfer in my sophomore year to another engineering school such as Cooper Union, Columbia, Cornell and Grove? </p>

<p>Hopefully for graduate school I would like to pursue a degree at Cornell’s school of engineering that is currently under construction on Roosevelt Island.</p>

<p>Thank you again for your help it is very much appreciated </p>
