i know, right? 😀
Whoever pointed out that regional status matters more is probably correct. Out here in VA, we don't give a shit which UC school you went to, but if you went to UVA, Penn, or even W&M, it matters. In CA, you probably don't even know what W&M is and generally know that UVA is a good school, but you know which of the UCs are better, etc.
National rankings are mostly meaningless outside of the top handful of schools. Especially true in the legal profession, I've found.
But to answer the OPs question, no state has the sheer number of quality schools present in CA. Of course, no state has the sheer number of schools present in CA.
It's really, really hard to not say MA has the best schools, just for the presence of Harvard and MIT. History probably plays a big part of that, though. That and I'm from the Northeast - but I cant stand Sox fans. So CA wins.

I suppose if I had a choice, I'd take Harvard over Stanford.
Now, back in the real world, I have to settle for community college.

Caltech is a better science school by far. It's a weaker engineering school.

Three top 3 engineering schools are MIT, Stanfurd, and Cal.
Berkeley and USC have top 10 business programs.
UCSF and StanFUrd are top 10 med schools. UCLA is just shy of top 10.
Stanford and Berkeley have top 10 law programs.
UCLA, Berkeley, and Stanford have top 10 teaching programs.
The only region that comes close is MA.
CA hands down.
BTW when you include schools w/o PhDs, Cal Poly SLO, Harvey Mudd, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Pepperdine, blah blah blah all stand out. CA once again.
BTW only 2 of those schools are worth competing with some of the top schools from CA, and those 2 on the list are CMU and UPenn. Hell UCSD trumps the rest of the list.

You're right. Why did I look at the undergrad list? Hahaha MBA programs Stanford and Cal all the way for top 10. SC and LA are somewhere in the teens.
