<p>This thread is very arguable, since different perspectives result in different rankings. For example, I go to school in Minnesota, and Carleton and Macalester are very much well known here for their great academic standards. I noticed some people ranked the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities 3rd, but when I did my research, some Minnesotans are in favor of private schools, therefore, ranks U of Minnesota- Twin Cities lower than other schools such as St. Olaf, University of St. Thomas.</p>

<p>Not to be rude but WaitingDad’s list for PA just doesn’t make any sense. How you could put any of those schools other than UPenn and maybe CMU over Swarthmore, Haverford or Bryn Mawr is beyond me… I would say that the TriCo has more name recognition than many of the schools on that list, especially the last 3 or 4.</p>
