<p>Why is Scripps on the list? I don't know why anyone would consider it better than CMC. I would switch Scripps with CMC, actually. And UCLA deserves honorary mention at 4., perhaps with Pitzer and Scripps. Forget this three stuff. :)</p>
<p>tom, no offense, but you are out of your mind. deep springs, scripps over UCLA? wow.</p>

<p>im_blue is a shameless anti-Emory troll. Ga TTTech over Emory? Get out of here.</p>
<p>I wouldn't be too concerned with the veracity of im_blue's list, considering he didn't even know a third school in CT and ranked Penn State in front of Swarthmore and Haverford.</p>

<p>Cre8tive1--I'm curious--why would you put Marlboro above Bennington?</p>
<p>Bennington is a art-dominated school, and a school that I feel I can duplicate a handful of times across the Northeast. Marlboro's methodology of education of education plus the level of intellect in that community really came across to me as a much stronger institution than both Bennington and Green Mountain.</p>

<p>Kenyon over Oberlin, Denison, & Ohio State is plausible...</p>
<p>but I'm not sure how you can put Catholic University over either American or Howard...</p>
<p>It depends on what programs you are talking about for each school CUA has 11 schools overall. The school is definitely growing for the better epecially the schools of nursing which is consistly ranked high usually tied with that of Georgetown and Duke. Also just looking at the school websites on the number of grants offered to some of the schools. Such as CUA's physics dept and Vitreous State laboratory and other grants. I mean its a toss up when it comes to number three. What school you are going to put there because of the different academic strenghts withen the 3 schools. I agree with you on that part.</p>
<p>Sorry about the spelling I also based Adding Catholic because it was the only school out of the other three to be listed in the Vangaurd Rankings of the top 100 schools for the past couple of years. I know rankings are very subjective, and I sometimes dont agree with them I believe that Catholic is under recognized.</p>
<p>California is pretty hard to do, because there are so many good schools. I'll therefore limit my scope to undergrad, and math, science, engineering (my areas of experience).</p>
<p>For that, I'd say the top 2 are probably Harvey Mudd and Caltech, and the third choice would be either Berkeley, Stanford, or Pomona.</p>
