Top 20 Graduate Engineering Universities in USA, 2014

When you say top graduate engineering universities in USA, you hear MIT or Stanford. Here is a list of Top 20 Graduate Engineering Universities in USA 2014.

When you say top graduate engineering universities in USA, you typically get a prompt response – MIT or Stanford. Well it is true that these two schools have the best engineering departments in the world but there are other schools which are catching up fast. For most of us in Pakistan, MIT is the dream engineering school to be in. Many students in Pakistan also ask if top schools like MIT and Stanford are on the Fulbright list of schools – the good news is yes they are. But I must stress here that there are other good programs too. For the purpose of this post I have compiled the list of top 20 engineering schools in the US, according to US news.

While applying to these programs please do make an effort in making sure that you have the most convincing and awe inspiring application – top GRE scores, great personal statement and 3 amazing letters of recommendations from your professors or bosses! As to whether these programs each weigh these components the same or higher is difficult to say. But what ever the case, these schools are extremely competitive and you must do really well on everything to stand chance of making it through. Here is a list of Top 20 Graduate Engineering Universities in USA for the year 2014. I would recommend that those applying to US engineering schools must apply to at least two of these schools. You never know; you may be the lucky one who gets in!
