<p>How would you rank the following schools in prestige and reputation:</p>
<p>Amherst, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth Duke, Georgetown,Penn, Pomona Swarthmore UChicago, Uva, WEsleyan, Williams</p>
<p>My ranking:</p>
<p>Amherst
Brown
Dartmouth
Georgetown
Williams
Swarthmore
Duke
Penn
Pomona
Wesleyan
Cornell
UChi/UVa (tie)</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>lol, there's no way Cornell and UChigcago are that low on the list, you're clearly biased for some reason or another</p>
<p>My ranking:
I see yr point; revised</p>
<p>Amherst
Brown
Dartmouth
Georgetown
Williams
Swarthmore
Duke
Penn
Cornell
UChi
Pomona
Wesleyan
UVa</p>
<p>I'd have to say that without further research, my list looks like this:</p>
<p>Dartmouth
Duke
Penn
Swarthmore
Cornell
Williams, Amherst (tie)
Brown
UChi
Georgetown
UVa
Pomona
Wesleyan</p>
<ol>
<li>Cornell, Duke, Penn, UChicago (alphabetical order)</li>
<li>Brown, Dartmouth, Georgetown,</li>
<li>Amherst, Swarthmore, Williams</li>
<li>UVA, Pomona</li>
<li>Wesleyan</li>
</ol>
<p>Not in the order of selectivity, but big research Univs have more reputation outside of this forum.</p>

UVA</p>
<p>Wesleyan science profs conduct research all year round (not just during their summers off); for that reason, I would put it ahead of WASP:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cornell, Duke, Penn, UChicago (alphabetical order)</li>
<li>Brown, Dartmouth, Georgetown,</li>
<li>Wesleyan</li>
<li>Amherst, Swarthmore, Williams</li>

<p>Let me pose this in a slightly different way, to see if the order is the same. If you got into all of these great schools and had to choose among them, what would your PERSONAL order of preference be: </p>
<p>Amherst, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth Duke, Georgetown,Penn, Pomona Swarthmore UChicago, Uva, WEsleyan, Williams</p>
<p>Mine wou ld be this:</p>
<p>Brown
Amherst
Georgetown
Dartmouth
Williams
Penn
Swarthmore
Duke
UVa
Pomona
Cornell
UChi
Wesleyan</p>
<p>Combination of rep plus atmosphere -- (you may detect a slight trend from laid-back to academically cut-throat):</p>
<p>Brown
Wesleyan
Dartmouth
Williams
Pomona
UVa
Penn
Amherst
Georgetown
Swarthmore
Duke
UChi
Cornell</p>
<p>based on strength in sciences and/or engineering, overall reputation, and campus "feel"/environment</p>

<p>I don't know much about Pomona's campus but I know it is far away from where I live.</p>
<p>Rep/Prestige:

<p>Duke, Amherst, Dartmouth,Williams etc. Duke top5 US News, great weather, fantastic campus, and great sports-basketball,lacrosse,field hockey,soccer etc. Duke and Stanford offer the best combination academics/athletics.</p>

<p>um from a Cornell student</p>
<p>Columbia, not there but i like it anways
UPenn
Brown
Duke
Chicago
Cornell
GTOWN
.....
Amherest
Wililiams
Swarthmore
Pomona</p>
<p>Swarthmore has more chalk per capita than all of them though.</p>
<p>Based completely on common southern name recognition:
Duke
Georgetown
Brown
Dartmouth
Penn
Cornell
UVA
UChicago
Wesleyan
Amherst
Pomona
Williams
Swarthmore</p>
<p>I would rank them #1 through #13.</p>
<p>I would put the one I liked the most at #1.</p>
<p>I would then put the one that I liked less than the other 12 at #13 with the rest somewhere in between isnt that how most people do it? Or, do you not know which one you like the most and are hoping to form an opinion based on which schools other people like the most? Interesting strategy.</p>
<p>Hope this helps, you genius you;)</p>
<p>Brown / Dartmouth / Penn
Amherst / Williams / UChicago
Cornell
Duke / Swarthmore
Georgetown
UVA
Wesleyan
Pomona</p>
<p>reputation to whom? the public or to grad schools? If it's the latter, Chicago is top 3 at worst.</p>
