What are the top universities in the U.S. now?</p>

<p>The University of California, Berkeley; UCLA; the University of Michigan; the University of Wisconsin; and the University of Virginia. Those really are the leading public universities. We're right in there amongst that group.

Which are the most distinguished three that we want to be a part of?</p>

<p>The two most prominent are Berkeley and the University of Michigan. Over time, that may change, but we will be on that list of them over the course of the decade.
