<p>yup -</p>

<p>the schools you mentioned will all be most presitigous in their geographic area - none of them are really more presitigous than the others.</p>

<p>i.e. a person from cali will most likely think ucla is better than virginia yet a person from the east coast will most likely think virginia is better than ucla.</p>

<p>I can't agree. Someone from Cali is less likely to think UCLA is a great school, because they live in CA. Everyone in CA applies there, you know people who went there who were dumb, etc. A lot of people in CA assume that UCs are easy to get into, so they apply with their 1.3 GPA and 1100 SATs (new).</p>

<p>I know people who think that as long as you live in CA, Cal is so easy to get into.</p>

<p>UCLA
Georgetown
Virginia

Vanderbilt</p>

<p>Most seem to think Georgetown and Chicago are the top two and Vanderbilt is at the bottom.</p>

<p>UChicago >> The others</p>

<p>Among the others, UCLA > Carnegie Mellon = UVA > Vanderbilt > Georgetown.</p>
