<p>(yes, they are all good schools, and I'm sure someone will say don't bother ranking them, doesn't matter, etc. I'm interested in hearing what people have so say on this anyway)</p>
<p>Rank for Prestige:</p>
<p>Rank for **Overall Quality of Education<a href="could%20be%20different%20than%20above">/b</a>:</p>
<p>Thanks. Feel free to explain why, if you want. My guess is that the second one will be have more varied responses... we shall see.</p>

<p>Prestige:
1.Dartmouth

<p>Prestige (from LA)
1. Brown
2. Dartmouth
3. Duke (I just had a friend asked me, is Duke a good school? lol)</p>
<p>Overall
1. Brown
2. Dartmouth

<p>Prestige (from TX):
1. Duke
2. Brown
3. Dartmouth</p>
<p>Overall
1. Dartmouth
2. Duke
3. Brown</p>
<p>However, if I could pick any to go to, I'd choose Brown.</p>
<p>Personal preference:
1. Dartmouth
2. (but close) Brown
23. Dupont (oh, I mean Duke)</p>
<p>Daderoo, that's not very nice. Dartmouth and Animal House, eh?</p>
<p>Prestige:
Duke
Brown
Dartmouth</p>
<p>This is from NC, where everyone knows Duke, a few know Brown, and nobody knows Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Quality of Education:
Duke
Dartmouth
Brown</p>
<p>i don't think anyone can rank educational quality since no one has been to all 3. and each school is unique! so can't really compare.</p>
<p>Prestige: CHECK USNEWS, i think Duke is pretty high up there
and then just pick whichever suits you the most :D</p>
<p>Anybody want to place JHU, Chicago, Rice, Nortwestern or WUStL is relation to these three?</p>
<p>quality of education:</p>

<p>this is comming from the Northeast (NY)</p>
<p>According to the 2006 ranking by US NEWS, Duke ranks the highest among these three institutions, and at the same time Duke also ranks #5 overall in the nation (right after UPENN and before stanford)</p>
<p>This would be an interesting board if we all just agreed that US News is god. NOT.</p>
<p>over-rated IMO. US News should not be used for exact rankings ... i'm sure duke deserves to be top-15, but i hardly believe duke and Penn deserve to be ranked higher than Stanford and MIT.</p>
<p>Revealed Preference:
3 Stanford
5 Mit
7 Brown
10 Dartmouth
12 Penn
19 Duke</p>
<p>kind of a pointless thread, btw</p>
<p>no two peoples lists that I could see at quick glance are the same, so what is to be learned here? not much</p>
<p>Daderoo where did you get that ranking? or was it your own making?</p>
<p>If you've seen the ranking done by Princeton and numerous other sources, Duke ranks among the top five.</p>
<p>prestige:
brown
dartmouth
duke</p>
<p>overall:
dartmouth
brown
duke</p>
