Is there something lesser about going to a state school?

I didn't build a Farnsworth Fusor in high school but my school is ranked about the same as UCSC, hah.

Yes, pay. Note that the "public" schools on this list are service academys.

But don't people say that "school doesn't matter" for Engineering?

I agree it does matter - that's just the argument that's used.
