Wow congrats! Those are the two top programs in the country. I am an undergrad in EE at Caltech and I know that our ChemE department is probably the best out of all departments in terms of recognition and facilities. You really can't go wrong with either.

I agree with you skyentist, UIUC isn't a name brand, which confuses me as to why it is ranked so highly this year. Besides the obvious MIT's, Stanfords, and Berkeley, the rest of the great engineering colleges's positions relative to each other seems to really fluctuate. For nanotech. I dont completely agree with your ranking for EE grad... Harvard, Penn and Cornell have pretty bad engineering when compared with some of the public school names mentioned.

I recently got interviewed for grad EE program in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Being that I go to college in CA, I am not really familiar with great EE colleges other than Berkeley and Stanford (MIT being exception). How prestigious or rigorous is UIUC in EE? Are they very selective? Thanks!

So basically you want the people here to do the research for you? LOL
