2013 US NEWS COLLEGE RANKINGS- ACC

[Milhouse]

As I said on the bro thread, vad's brags have become less and less humble.

A bro wins one hot guys competition and all the sudden thinks he's some combination of Brad Pitt and Einstein.

his wife is smart and successful. let a dude brag.

 

[Strickland33]

But they may not have top 30 schools that they can get into closer to home.

This is right. Hence why a lot of tri-state kids go to schools like UNC, Wake, and Duke. UConns, Penn State, Rutgers, and SUNYs, etc. pale in comparison.

I don't want to be prickly, but I hate anecdotal blanket statements. About anything.

Yeah, based on my experience they're all unwarranted. No exceptions.

At least Caturday knows markets...

and they never were very humble

I don't really understand how anyone can be arguing against GT's quality if we're strictly talking about rankings listed on this thread... Vad's thread with the rankings of the individual rankings should prove SOMETHING, especially considering those cover all of the biggest engineering disciplines, excluding chemical (which is #7). Hell, CalTech is top 3 in ONE engineering discipline. I'm not claiming the Wake grads here couldn't finish there, hell, I got through GT with a good GPA and didn't put in nearly as much work as a lot of people I know, whatever that means. If you put in the work, or you're math/science inclined and get things, sure, you'll finish. I know an awful lot of people in the engineering world who put GT up there with MIT/CalTech, not just Vad.

I also know a ton of people who don't give a shit where you went to undergrad, as long as you have a GPA that they think is high enough. In my opinion, you earn a lot more respect from a graduate degree than undergrad anyway. So that UVA master's in engineering is really helping me...?

He got rejected by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and wait-listed by Johns Hopkins University. He highlighted himself as a "good strong" math and science student. "I like STEM subjects!"
GPA: 3.9

Turnoff: The "gothic stone" at Duke. "It got on my nerves."

Good man.

Not USN&WR rankings, but I didn't want to start a new thread.

Be prepared to click to the next band several times.

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

I don't trust it either, @hannah_werthan

#144 in athletics is probably about right.

 

[CDeacMan]

He probably just read David and Goliath

[wake20]

so you're given positive points for being a party school? is that how maryland edged out georgetown (lol)? also, college park nightlife > dc nightlife?

 

[bojanglefunk]

Well we cracked the top 20 for costliest.
