<p>University of Manchester seems to pop up a lot in research. King’s/Imperial college too, and naturally all the other very famous ones listed before. And in Germany, I know about the Max Planck Institute for Theoretical Physics for some reason.</p>
<p>Well I’m a college student and I’ll list some institutions that I consider prestigious outside of the US in no particular order. You can probably tell it’s influenced by how known they are for medical research.</p>
<p>Oxford
Cambridge
Heidelburg
Karolinska Institute
Melbourne
McGill
Edinburgh
Tokyo</p>
<p>It’s probably more than what the typical US college student recognizes, though. Most Americans will know about Oxford and Cambridge but that’s it.</p>
<p>University of Toronto
Queen’s University (Kingston, Canada)
McGill
IIT in India </p>
<p>Can anyone recommend a college consultant in the San Francisco area?</p>
<p>A representative from St Andrew’s visited my (large and public) high school, so I bet Americans are more familiar with that university than would otherwise be expected.</p>
<p>Chulalongkorn University - Thailand</p>
<p>Totally unknown for int’l but it’s in a good world rank :)</p>
<p>I know of</p>
<p>Cambridge
Oxford
Imperial College London
McGill
University of Toronto
Tsinghua University (probably because I’m chinese)
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (because of their rankings, I’d bet)</p>
<p>jellya, I’ve never seen Chulalongkorn University ranked… anywhere, let alone in the SJTU ranking :)</p>
<p>No one’s mentioned ETH Zürich?</p>
<p>DunninLA,</p>
<p>oh really? I remember I saw quite a few of them. Let me see if I can find some :)</p>
<p>btw, I don’t mean top 10 or anything but around top 100 or 200.</p>
<p>Chulalongkorn University</p>
