Thanks for all the responses....

prochainarretus: If funding were no issue, I would pick Cornell, then UT-Austin, and then UCLA. However, in my opinion (as valid as that may be), I think Cornell and UT-Austin are roughly the same, with Cornell having the edge because it is an ivy. However, I think they are both much better than UCLA.

Also, it seems that most people think I should go to UIUC....I am from the East Coast and until about a year ago, I hadn't even heard of UIUC....hence, my gut feeling is Princeton because of the name recognition for industry....however, by US News, UIUC is #4, while Princeton is #11...can anyone from the East Coast or West Coast rate UIUC....Thanks again everyone.
