<p>St. Mary’s College of Maryland vs. New College of Florida
Harvey Mudd vs. Caltech
Washington & Lee vs. Franklin & Marshall</p>
<p>St. Mary’s College of Maryland (I’d rather study in Maryland than Florida, bad reason, I know)
Harvey Mudd (less prestige, but the graduates are better than top-notch)
Washington & Lee (because they’ve spammed me more)</p>
<p>UW-Seattle vs. UW-Madison (OMG BATTLE OF THE W’s)
Stanford vs. UC-Berkeley (muahahaha)
Ninjas vs. Pirates</p>
<p>PLEASE POST YOUR REASONING; it’s more fun that way…(it doesn’t matter if you have BS reasoning or not; just look at my answers).</p>
<p>UW-Seattle - Beautiful campus, and Seattle is the most educated city in the country.
Berkeley - Stronger math program, shorter drive to SF. This is a hard choice.
Ninjas - Pirates won’t see them coming.</p>
<p>UVa vs. Vanderbilt
Berkeley vs. Carnegie Mellon
Hopkins vs. Northwestern</p>
<p>Based on prestige only:</p>
<p>Vanderbilt
Berkeley
Hopkins</p>
<p>-edit for reasons-</p>
<p>Vanderbilt over UVa - “Harvard of the South”; that’s pretty prestigious. Also, UVa takes a certain number of kids from in state and the middle 50% scores / GPAs seem to be lower. I liked UVa a lot but I believe Vanderbilt is a more prestigious school.
Berkeley over Carnegie Mellon - I always thought Berkeley was a good school. -shrug-
Hopkins vs. Northwestern - Well this one really depends on the program, but here in NJ it seems like everyone who wants to go into science / math / pre-med programs is applying at Johns Hopkins. Northwestern is popular here, too, but I just think that Hopkins is the most prestigious name in those categories especially.</p>
<p>Oops, forgot to post mine.</p>
<p>UNC vs UVA
Rutgers vs UMaryland
Brown vs Cornell</p>
<p>I don’t think Vanderbilt has more prestige than UVa.</p>
<p>UVa - more OOS, and it’s not like UNC where OOS is ultra selective and in-state is easy admit.
UMD - next to D.C., I like the Terps.
Brown - like the Academics.</p>
<p>Scripps vs. Smith
St. Olaf vs. Carleton
Pitzer vs. Bard</p>
<p>@ lockn: Well, it’s an opinion thing. I didn’t agree with everything that everyone said on here, either.</p>
<p>This is why reasons are good…there has to be a reason why you think X College is more prestigious than Y (unless it’s Harvard vs Evergreen College or something…but the entire point of this is to pit two similar institutions against each other). And it doesn’t necessarily have to be by prestige; academics works as well.</p>
<p>Lockedin:
New College of Florida (heard more about it–sounds very interesting)
Caltech (very, very top notch)
Washington and Lee (a much higher-ranked school)</p>
<p>AND
UVA (Thomas Jefferson!)
Berkeley (Y pay more?)
Hopkins (much closer to Ivy!)</p>
