George2248 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I applied to 2 very different programs, but I really like both: 1. UIUC: Construction Management Program, ranked 3rd in Civil Engineering. 2. DUKE: Master in Engineering Management, ranked 20ish in Engineering, but the MEM program is associated with MIT, Stanford, Dartmouth and others. Also Duke is ranked better overall. One important factor for me is the possibility of getting a job in the US after graduating, since I am an international student. With this in mind, what would you think matter most? overall ranking? field ranking? program associated with Ivy leagues? Basically what I am asking is for an outside opinion, what would you do if you were me? R Deckard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
