  5. Does it Matter?</p>

<p>Southwest:

<p>West:

  1. Stanford/UCBerkeley
  2. UCLA
  3. UC San Diego
  4. U Washington
  5. UC Santa Barbarbara? / don’t care</p>

<p>By what criteria? Undergrad selectivity? Resources? Faculty Quality? Research/grad programs? This can make a big difference.</p>

<p>Example: Texas</p>

<p>Undergrad (NOT faculty quality/academic programs)

  1. Rice
  2. UT-Austin
  3. SMU / Texas A&M / Baylor
  4. Tech / Houston
  5. Texas State</p>

<p>Liberal arts schools like Southwestern, Trinity, Austin College, St. Edward’s, UNT, etc. are very good too, but it’s difficult to rank directly against more comprehensive universities.</p>

<p>Realistically, the quality of faculty, academic programs, and resources at UT is too great to be any lower than #2 at the undergrad level.</p>

<p>Faculty Quality/Research/Graduate programs

  1. UT-Austin (by far)
  2. Rice / Texas A&M / UT Southwestern / Baylor COM
  3. SMU / Houston
  4. Texas Tech
  5. Other smaller programs</p>

<p>CONNECTICUT

  1. Yale
  2. United States Coast Guard Academy
  3. Wesleyan
  4. UCONN
  5. Trinity College
  6. Connecticut College
  7. Quinnipiac
  8. Fairfield
  9. Sacred Heart
  10. Univ. of Hartford
  11. Central CT SU</p>

<p>@Tiberian</p>

<p>I disagree with your California list because it appears to
favor liberal arts over science. Muddy over Cal and UCLA Lol!</p>

<p>Here’s my list:</p>

<ol>
<li>Stanford </li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>USC</li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<p>this list is absolutely awful… colgate over cornell, vassar, and NYU… are you kidding me?</p>

<p>Alabama:
1.Birmingham Southern
2.U of A
2.Samford
4.Auburn
5.UAB</p>

<p>Universities</p>

<ol>
<li>Vanderbilt</li>
</ol>

<p>Wow I didn’t know Tennessee had only one college. No wonder Vanderbilt
is so hard to get into.</p>

<p>Does Maryland even have ten colleges?</p>

<ol>
<li> Johns Hopkins</li>
<li> College Park</li>
<li> UMBC</li>
<li> Loyola College of Maryland</li>
<li> Towson</li>
<li> Salisbury</li>
<li> Stevenson / Villa Julie</li>
<li> Frostburg</li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<p>Sure we do! :)</p>

<ol>
<li>Johns Hopkins</li>
<li>College Park</li>
<li>UMBC</li>
<li>Loyola College of Maryland</li>
<li>Towson</li>
<li>Salisbury</li>
<li>Stevenson / Villa Julie</li>
<li>Frostburg</li>
<li>St. Mary’s College of MD</li>
<li>St John’s College (The one in Annapolis)</li>
</ol>

<p>Now that we have people’s picks, let’s explain.</p>

<ol>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
</ol>

<p>Although Caltech’s less selective, it’s a much more intense school than Stanford.</p>

<ol>
<li>Berkeley</li>
<li>Pomona</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
</ol>

<p>Berkeley and UCLA are two of the best research universities in the country even if they’re not the best for undergrad (insanely crowded) Pomona is one of the best LACs but has less prestige because it’s a LAC. Overall these three are about as good as each other.</p>

<ol>
<li>UCSD</li>
</ol>

<p>Very underrated due to lacking sports teams.</p>

<ol>
<li>Harvey Mudd</li>
<li>USC</li>
<li>Claremont McKenna</li>
<li>UC Davis</li>
</ol>

<p>Just because I said so.</p>

<p>Even #10 UC Davis is better than most state flagships. California schools are that good.</p>
