well i mean the "top 25" (whatever that means) just barely doesn't include UF or UGA, who are 2 top public schools

plus these rankings are basically established in groupthink and self-serving perception biases. if we want to continue the CFB metaphor, it is impossible for a "Boise State" to emerge. hell it's impossible for an Auburn to emerge

and things like endowments, grants, and hell, even academic professor "stars" that teach at particular universities really do not have an impact on the undergraduate population that these lists are marketed towards. however, since the perceived "top" universities had these variables when the methodology was developed, they weigh greatly in the methodology.

and yes, i am one of those kids who could have gone ivy but didn't, and yes, i have much criticism to throw at LSU

Wrong list my friend

quote:
These undergrad engineering programs were ranked solely on a peer assessment survey conducted in spring 2014. To appear on an undergraduate engineering survey, a school must have an undergraduate engineering program accredited by ABET. The programs below are schools whose highest engineering degree offered is a bachelor's or master's.
