<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I'm just curious as to what these colleges are good at major wise...
Case Western
Brandeis
Boston University
Illinois Urbana Champaign</p>
<p>Also, even though Case Western and Brandeis are highly ranked, are they worth going to "name and reputation" wise than Wisconsin Madison, UT Austin, UCSD, UC Davis?</p>
<p>Case Western: science/technology (esp. medical fields), econ
Brandeis: liberal arts, int’l business
BU: health/science fields, law, some business fields
UIUC: business, engineering, psych, some LAS (probably the more science oriented ones)</p>
<p>To answer your question on whether the two private schools are “worth” it, to be honest, name/reputation wise probably not, unless your future employee has a fetish for a certain school or rankings for some reason. The schools you listed probably have the same pull in terms of the label on your eventual diploma. For that reason, it should come down to fit and financials.</p>
