Most Prestigious West Coast Schools

<p>but lets exclude all in California or else we won't hear about anywhere else :)</p>

<p>so basically its gonna be like UW...</p>

<p>Reed College
Whitman College
although i wouldnt necessarilly call them prestigious.</p>

<p>So you want the most prestigious colleges in Oregon and Washington?</p>

<p>this is silly, if we name the prestigious schools in oregon and wash. it'll be like 5 schools. I say we include CA</p>

<p>puget sound i always thought was pretty good</p>

<p>But we have had so many threads on these that everyone knows what they are. I'd like to hear more prestigious west coast schools outside of California.</p>

<p>why ?</p>

<p>Because we already know the answers for California:
UCB
UCLA
Stanford
Claremont Colleges
USC
UCSD</p>

<p>The list goes onnnnnnnnnn. </p>

<p>But what about other West Coast schools?
Washington
Oregon
Idaho
Nevada
Montana
Maybe even Colorado.</p>

<p>Tier 1:
Colorado College
Reed
Whitman</p>

<p>Tier 2:
U Washington</p>

<p>Tier 3:
Willamette
Lewis & Clark
U Puget Sound</p>

<p>U Oregon is a good school, but I wouldn't call it prestigious.</p>

<p>since most of Colorado is east of the Continental Divide, it's hard to consider it a "west coast" school.....</p>

<p>Outside of California? I can only think of Reed</p>

<p>This thread has been done ... 50 times ...</p>

<p>Don't forget CalTech (to surfette's list)! :D</p>

<p>"Tier 1:
Colorado College
Reed
Whitman</p>

<p>Tier 2:
U Washington</p>

<p>Tier 3:
Willamette
Lewis & Clark
U Puget Sound</p>

<p>U Oregon is a good school, but I wouldn't call it prestigious."</p>

<p>really? puget sound is that far below uwash, reed, etc? i always had a better impression of it than that</p>

<p>Eh, it's arguable. A person that thrives in a smaller environment would do better at UPS, and there's definitely not a huge gulf between my tiers.</p>

<p>What about Gongaza and Seattle University?</p>
