a question about the school's REPUTATION

hi guys,

can you guys give me an idea about the order of these school’s academic reputation and prestige?

NYU CAS

Carnegie Mellon

Boston College

Wesleyan

thanks so much

<p>NYU and BC == way, way overrated. Wesleyan's a good school though.</p>

<p>Wesleyan University
Carnagie Mellon
Boston College
NYU</p>

<p>i cant believe nyu is really so low</p>

<p>I think it also depends on your area of interest. For CS Carnagie Mellon is by far the best on your list. For humanities the ranking would be different.</p>

<p>interested in economics/business</p>

<p>IF economics:</p>

<p>Carnagie Mellon
Wesleyan U
NYU
Boston C</p>

<p>IF business:</p>

<p>NYU
Carnagie Mellon
Boston College
Wesleyan U</p>

<p>IF almost anything else:</p>

<p>Wesleyan U
Carnagie Mellon
Boston C
NYU</p>

<p>According to my prep school friends, they would rank Boston C & NYU as safeties, ranking them lower than Wesleyan U. & Carnagie Mellon U. Anyhow, just my 2 cents. It is more about fit, than rank anyway.</p>
