Hey...
Did you guys see the princeton engineering rank on the U.S. News? it's like right behind Cornell. Princeton tails Cornell in Aeronautical, electrical, computer engineering and so on... It's kind of scaring me... I hope that Cornell keeps the number one engineering spot in the ivy... By the way, did you guys know that Cornell engineering ranked 3rd in 1996. Not just in the ivy, but in the U.S. Now, Cornell is ranked like 8. What happened? UIUC, Michigan, Georgiatech caught up...

Those rankings have to be taken with a grain of salt and are only useful when you average like 10 years of rankings (which I guess I should do sometime and post it here).

I'm not sure why Princeton engineering should be scaring you... are you a Cornell student? Cornell Engineering is *very* respected in every possible field you could go into with your engineering degree. Princeton is too, and Princeton may be harder to get into than Cornell; but many more top jobs in engineering are filled by Cornell grads.
