@aks-u can try universities like penn state-university park(highest ranked among diff. penn states),maryland-college park(highest ranked among U Marylands),& wisconsin-madison(highest ranked among U Wisconsins).they all are in top 20.drexel is in top 50,i guess.good news is that it doesn't have app. fees
A TIP:-if u want to know the rankings of a particlular college then type grad rankings in the search bar in the home page.every university has a page which gives details of its US NEWS rankings.so u get to see the rankings for free.US NEWS charges $$ for the detailed rankings.
@attraxion-minnesota is not even near Michigan-Ann Arbor.Minn is ranked around 25th whereas Mich is ranked 7th in Graduate school rankings.Mich is ranked 2nd in top public Universities,just below UCB.it's in top 10 in every field like-law,Biz,engr,pharmacy,etc.It's reputation is mind blowing.my bro's friend said he didn't get a job 'because of U MINN but 'because of IIT.he too had done MS in MECH. from Minn. & took 3.5 yrs to complete his MS.as a result no job.now he has got a job,which is a temp. one & is related to OPT.
