<p>I'm having trouble choosing. As you all don't know my personality so you can't help me really in choosing a school, on a more basic level, which of these schools is the most prestigious? </p>
<p>Rice
Bowdoin
Davidson
UCLA
Carleton
Emory</p>
<p>In what field?</p>
<p>Essentially equal except for Emory though it is a very good school as well. However the differences between UCLA and Carleton/Bowdoin are so obvious that I won’t list them. Once you choose big or small then choose relative location and you will be down to 1-2 schools.</p>
<p>Rice and Emory are similar both in reputation and prestige. </p>
<p>Bowdoin and Carleton are another obvious similar tier school.
I believe Davidson comes a little below these two. </p>
<p>UCLA is a state school. </p>
<p>Academic prestige…? Definitely Bowdoin or Carleton.
UCLA is perhaps the most well-known out of all those. I second #2 - what field?</p>
<p>Carleton is great for pre medicine. (other ones are probably great as well, but I have not heard anything concerning that about the other colleges)</p>
