Harvard, MIT, and Duke seem to be doing the best on the putnam in recent years, but is that a valid comparison for the overall departments?
Are any other schools better?
<p>Is Harvard a good school?</p>
<p>Ummm they are all good. Putnam just represents the genius of the students (and the dedication to studying math). If that is what you are wanting to do (and have done), you should have no problem getting in. MIT is probably the best team at the Putnam.</p>
