Let's Play the College Ranking Game (Plus/Minus)

College Confidential Community
1701

<p>MIT should be #3. Compared to Harvard and 'furd, it has a narrower focus. </p>

<p>Stanford should be #2. It has great engineering programs that rival MIT’s but has more breadth and depth.</p>

<p>Harvard should be #1. Historically, it’s been and remains top dog. Although its engineering isn’t as strong as Stanford or MIT, Harvard has “better” professional programs.</p>

<p>Just my $0.02.</p>

<p>No voting criteria was given in the OP.</p>

<p>Best undergraduate education and most likely school to change the future of the world: MIT</p>

<p>Best professional graduate schools: Harvard</p>

<p>Best overall university and college experience: Stanford</p>

<p>In the most recent Time Higher Education ranking of universities by reputation Harvard came first, MIT second and Stanford was fifth. </p>

<p>Arguably, the MIT model is the research university most emulated worldwide at the current time. Virtually every developed or developing country has coined its major science and technology university at the MIT of “…”.</p>

<p>Tsinghua (China)
IIT (India)
Technion (Israel)<br>
National University (Singapore)</p>

<p>Even well established European universities such as Cambridge University are increasing their ties to MIT with the formation of the Cambridge-MIT Institute.</p>

<p>Is there consensus on a three-way tie perhaps??? At this point it seems necessary.</p>

<p>Someone post the final results to finalize it.</p>
