Agree with everything said here. I'm from GaTech going for a PhD at MIT this fall. I think NanoTech has a thing for Berkeley because he went there and the other schools because him or his friends applied. If I was headed to CA I'd choose UCSD or UCLA over Berkeley any day because of the rampant homeless population on Berkeley's campus (my point isn't to put down Berkeley, but to show it's all a matter of preference). I admire anyone from a top 20 engineering school, comparing these schools is just politics though. Comparingly selectivity for graduate programs isn't so reliable either. I got into MIT, Berkeley, UCSD, UCLA, USC UMich, and Penn, but rejected from UW and Columbia. It's all about where you want to be, not where others tell you to go (USNEWS or otherwise). Everyone should just be happy if they get into a strong EE program because that is a big accomplishment
