<p>How would USNews top 15 universities rank in terms of international reputation?
Does it go something like this:</p>
<p>Harvard
MIT/Stanford/Yale
Princeton/Columbia/Cornell
Caltech
Penn/Dartmouth/UChicago/Duke/Brown
Northwestern/WashU/Johns Hopkins</p>
<p>Check the THES International Reputation Rankings: [Top</a> Universities by Reputation 2012](<a href=“http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2011-2012/reputation-rankings.html]Top”>World Reputation Rankings 2012 | Times Higher Education (THE))</p>
<p>Among top 30 universities, it goes something like:</p>
<p>Harvard
MIT/Stanford/Berkeley</p>
<p>Princeton/UCLA/Yale/Caltech</p>
<p>Michigan/Chicago/Columbia/Cornell
Johns Hopkins/Penn</p>
<p>Duke/NYU/Northwestern/Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^ It should also be pointed out that a number of additional publics are higher than Duke/NYU/Northwestern/Carnegie Mellon per THES. There is an interesting difference between public perception within the US compared to international perceptions.</p>
<p>Perception within the US has largely been shaped by the USNWR undergraduate rankings, but the argument could also be made it just tends to reinforce what people already believe anyway.</p>
