<p>Is "CIT" Caltech ?
For me, I would move MIT, STanford and Caltech up</p>

3

<p>I'd put NYU above Wake, Emory, and Vandy. I'd also move G'town up, I'm not sure I'd even have Tufts in there. I'd also put Stanford above UPenn...don't pull a US News. Other than that, your ranking is pretty accurate.</p>

4

<p>top for what? undergraduate studies? engineering? business?? you have to be specific here...</p>

5

<p>"I'd put NYU above Wake, Emory, and Vandy."</p>

<p>You're kidding, right? I'm no fan of Wake or Vanderbilt, but NYU's only real strengths are business and math (and law, but that's graduate only of course), while the other three are decent in many areas. If it weren't for Stern, NYU would drop a good 15-20 spots on pretty much every undergrad college ranking.</p>

6

<p>You seem to have left out John Hopkins...</p>

7

<p>Brown is # 11?? Geez, I would have thought it would be in the top 10, if not top 7..</p>

8

<p>here's my top 10 overall (too lazy to do top 30)</p>

<ol>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>Duke</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
</ol>

<p>still, the ranking is too generalized. You seriously need to be more specific. For example, in the humanities MIT and Caltech should the bottom two, while in engineering they should be top 2.</p>

9

<p>BROWN IS OVERRATED, besides, brown is the color of poop, its the trash of the ivies anyway...</p>

<ol>
<li>Harvard </li>
<li>YAle </li>
<li>Princeton </li>
<li>UPENN </li>
<li>Stanford </li>
<li>MIT </li>
<li>Duke </li>
<li>CIT </li>
<li>COlumbia </li>
<li>Nothwestern</li>
</ol>

<p>i like these except i think that upenn should move down to #9 and everyone else should shift up</p>

<ol>
<li>Harvard </li>
<li>YAle </li>
<li>Princeton </li>
<li>Stanford </li>
<li>MIT </li>
<li>Duke </li>
<li>CIT </li>
<li>COlumbia </li>
<li>UPENN </li>
<li>Nothwestern</li>
</ol>

10

<p>I personally think its:</p>

<ol>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>CIT</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>Duke</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
</ol>

<p>My honest opinion is that while Penn is an excellent school, Wharton is what gives them their extremely high ranking. The college of arts and sciences, I believe, is not as good HYP and Columbia (in the Ivies). </p>

<p>Just my opinion. These threads always create controversy and discussion. When you are up this high in the rankings, its just splitting hairs between schools and what any individual student is looking for.</p>

11

<p>in my opinion, this is an absolutely useless discussion. Even among the ivies, each has its own distinct qualities. A student who migh do extremely well at harvard might suffer at penn, and vice versa. Likewise, a student might do extremely well at UC santa cruz who would suffer at Columbia, but go on to a career as distinguished as any Columbia grad and/or get into the same grad schools.
Please, for the love of god, lets stop trying to quantify something. Comparing schools is way too often comparing apples to oranges.</p>

12

<p>Wake Forest ranked above UC Berkeley? Yeah, sure! :rolleyes:</p>

13

<p>UC Berkeley should be in the top 10.</p>

14

<p>Hello, Berkeley is definitely higher than Stanford. Everyone in California thinks so.</p>

15

<p>Ok My top ten:</p>

<ol>
<li>Yale </li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Duke</li>
<li>Penn</li>
</ol>

16

<p>Berkeley has more Top 10 departments than any college in the country. Clearly, Brown, Columbia, and Penn shouldn't be ahead of UCB.</p>

17

<p>wake forest roxor!</p>

18

<ol>
<li>cal tech</li>
<li>mit</li>
<li>harvard</li>
<li>princeton</li>
<li>penn (due to wharton)</li>
<li>uchicago
7.umich</li>
<li>stanford
9.duke
10.nyu (for stern)</li>
</ol>

<p>northwestern def isn't top 10</p>

19

<p>lol quakerman, of course a ranking list wouldnt be complete without nyu at the top.</p>

20

<p>I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I saw NYU ranked as #10.</p>
