<p>@ UCBChemEGrad…i’m talkin more about engineering rankings…</p>
<p>i’ve noticed that pure tech schools tend to get shafted with overall ratings for some reason…RPI has students that have academic potential (now i’m basing this off SAT and class rankings) that are more in line with schools in the 20s for US News Rankings…WPI prob 30s…yet RPI is in the 40s and WPI is wayy in the 60s for some weird reason…</p>
<p>engineering rankings though…feel like student caliber should have more to do with it…idk that’s just me though…say a kid wants to go to a pure tech school…after MIT, Caltech, and Harvey Mudd…the next reputable one would be RPI or Rose-Hulman, at which point the engineering rankings are kinda low-ish (except for Rose-Hulman bc they’re in their own little category of undergrad only schools), even though the student caliber is still pretty high…and then after that it’s WPI where the rankings are pretty much dead…</p>
