<p>Does Vanderbilt command international recognition and prestige? Can one say that its almost on par with the Ivies or if not if its on par with schools like Duke, Stanford and MIT? </p>
<p>I also hear its a school on the rise. So I dont want to reject a school that will some day be in the top 10 someday.</p>
<p>Ruben, your post makes no sense since Stanford and MIT have more international recognition than most Ivy League schools and Duke has equal international recognition as the lesser known Ivies. </p>
<p>At any rate, I don't think Vanderbilt is as recognized as any of the universities mentioned above. That is not to say it is not a well regarded university. Vanderbilt is an excellent university. I would say Vanderbilt's international reputation is on par with Emory's, Rice's or Washington University's...which in of itself is pretty impressive.</p>
