<p>You guys are forgetting UT Austin! </p>
<p>On the Engineering and Business side, its very prestigious.</p>
<p>Plus WHO hasn’t heard of the Longhorns? I mean come on.</p>
<p>But then again this could be my bias because I’m heading there this fall :)</p>
<p>I find Caltech to be more MIT level.</p>
<p>1) ITT Tech
2) University of Phoenix
3) DeVry university
4) National American University
5) A toss up between Argosy & Rasmussen.

Unless you are speaking of the animal, I have never heard of “the Longhorns.”</p>
<p>

<p>Caltech and Chicago are better than “lower Ivies” for academics. They are worse than “lower Ivies” for layman prestige (although in terms of the top 5% of the educated population, Caltech and Chicago are both more prestigious than the lower Ivies). Duke is about the same as “lower Ivies” for academics and prestige.</p>
<p>georgetown is weak in the pure sciences</p>
