<p>UCSD should definitely be on there.</p>
<p>UCSD and USC should both be on cc's top college list. UCSD has more top ten programs than many of the schools on the list. An argument could be made for Tufts and NYU as well.</p>
<p>nyu and brandeis definitely do not deserve that slot over tufts, and others that have been mentioned repeatedly.</p>
<p>Another vote for Tufts...</p>
<p>I don't really understand why it's not on there yet.</p>
<p>Tufts, NYU and Brandeis are three schools that come to mind.</p>
<p>Tufts, USC, William and Mary, Wake Forest, Lehigh, UCSD, Brandeis, U of Rochester, U of Wisconsin/Madison. That would make sure that the list covers the top 35 of US News rankings. Since the Ivies are already taken out by CC, this would make an even 28, two neat columns of 14.</p>
<p>UCSD, and there shouldn't be so many private schools. You can argue with my all you want but i do not think that some schools like Brown and Yale can hold up to the research capabilities like some of the other public schools, (including the UC's beacuse i'm biased.) UCSD has 9, thats right 9 nobel laureates teaching kids and doing resreach there. Berkeley has 8. Schools like Brown and Yale are famous because they are old and only allow small class sizes which makes them hard to get into. People should get over this thing about being Ivy leagure or nothing. The Ivy league isn't all it's cracked up to be.</p>
<p>USC, UNC, WM, Tufts, Wisconsin, UCSD, in no particular order there.</p>
<p>UC<em>Davis</em>Bound couldnt have put it better myself :)</p>
<p>When you're talking about undergrad here, it seems relatively meaningless to me to be discussing research capabilities so vehemently as a way to say that UCSD is stronger than Yale or Brown. One, I doubt the Nobel laureats are doing a whole lot of teaching at all, let alone to undergrads, so the prize winning profs are providing no tangible benefit to the undergrad students. Two, the real strength of the Ivy League is the strength of its students, as initially could be seen through something like avg SAT, and then confirmed later through job and grad school placements. Many of the most sought after, highest paying jobs (such as banking and consulting) are off limits to anyone who didn't go to one of ~ 25 schools. UCSD is not one of them. It's well known for sciences and considered strong for PhD in Econ, paricularly in the field of econometrics, but cannot come close to creating the opportunities that Yale and Brown do at the undergrad level. I would agree that Tufts should be on that list. At the very least, I would say it's stronger than UNC, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>University of Tulsa. </p>
<p>Top 100 Private University with excellent merit aid and lower than average cost. Plus there is a notable lack of schools between the coasts represented on the list.</p>
<p>William and Mary!</p>
<p>2sonmama- however, there are many other great college that are above University of Tulsa on the ranking that we would have to include too... Although i admit its the greatest one (academically) in OK... are you an okie?</p>
<p>William and Mary should DEFINITELY be on there!</p>
<p>Boston College should be on there as well. It's a great school.</p>
<p>Tufts, NYU!!!! But UT-Austin: not quite :cool:</p>
<p>NYU is definitely SEVERELY underrated. Stern and Tisch are among the top in the country, and CAS is pretty good too. :D</p>
<p>So I think the general consensus, if they ever added any schools, would be USC, NYU, W&M, and Tufts?</p>
<p>wraider2006, i love you.</p>
<p>ucsd usc tufts william and mary and maybe nyu would be the schools added according to most of the posts</p>
<p>My bro and a lot of other kids I know who went to NYU (mostly Tisch and Stern) said the school was completely overrated. However, based on some of the schools that did make the list, I think NYU should be added.</p>
