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.

Dont forget stanford school of business is pretty damn godo as well

As far as business goes, MIT and Harvard have better programs.
Going by the Business Week rankings, http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/ (click on full-time MBA), its 2,9 vs 6,10,14,25

Who cares? You can only go to one at a time anyway.

Cornell is NY, isn't it?

Others pointed out Cornell already. I would only consider Penn and CMU as top tier schools on that list. Penn State is a good school, but it's really a solid second tier school; again still a great school but just not of the same caliber. And Pitt. . . really??

 

[BeauJangles]

California. It's huge and has a lot of great schools in it.

Massachusetts is definitely #2, but not by much.

When you have Harvard, MIT, Amherst, Williams, Tufts, Brandeis, Boston College, Berklee leading a crowded pack, it's tough to beat.

Ugh. Yes. I'm never going to be able to live this one down. 😛

california is way bigger than MA though. Would be more interesting to compare new england vs. california, it which case it would be total domination by NE

this is stupid. It's like saying MA is older than CA, so they had the advantage. We're comparing states, tough shit one state is larger than the other.

Harvard, MIT and Stanford, Cal Tech pretty much same caliber.

If I'm scanning resumes, Harvard and MIT are going to jump out at me more than Cal Tech and Stanford, sorry. It's not to say I don't recognize those schools and how good they are, but around here the former carry more weight.

Then you are a horrible recruiter you are passing on same caliber students. If there is a marginal difference it's minuscule.

theres no diff between stanford and harvard. between MIT and CalTech, I would think the caltech kids are weirder. Gotta be a special person to want to go to such a nerdy school

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

I'm confused. How is Caltech a far better science school than MIT?

News to me certainly. I would put MIT and Stanford at about the same level with MIT being the top. But when you get into specific colleges and graduate research disciplines then there are other schools like UIUC, Georgia Tech, ... that are on the same level.

Tiebreaker goes to the warm weather state. College girls in skimpy outfits? Fuggedaboutit!

 

[Finalnight]

I would say: New York, California, Illinois, seems to be a function of population.

Though, MA is pretty close with Harvard, MIT, BC, and BU.

 

[GoSharks]

New York? Help me out here, but I only can think of Columbia that is on the same level as Stanford, Harvard, etc.

 

[Killerme33]

New York has NYU, Cornell, and Columbia. The SUNY schools aren't bad either.

I would rank #1 Cali, #2 Mass, really these two states are in a league of their own.

 

[masterxfob]

born and raised in CA, but i'd have to give it up to MA.

obviously a product of a UArts education 😉 😀

 

[nageov3t]

I feel like CA should be disqualified because it's so big.

 

[BlackTigers]

1. Florida
2. Utah
3. USC
4. Texas
5. Oklahoma
6. Alabama
7. TCU
8. Penn State
9. Ohio State
10. Oregon

Well, two Texas in the top ten.

So I guess Texas has the best schools.

Even extended to 25, there's more Texas schools.

 

[Chriscross3234]

North Carolina puts up some stiff competition if you are in the south, we have:

NC State (the best of course)
UNC Chapel Hill
Duke
Wake Forest
Elon

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.

Also forgot about UC Davis with it's Agriculture/Animal studies that are top 10 nation wide.

Uh, just around my area (20 mile radius) there are three of the nation's finest liberal arts colleges: Swarthmore (3rd), Haverford (10th), and Bryn Mawr (23rd) as well as the Univ. of Pa. Second tier in the same small area would include Drexel, Villanova and La Salle. Plenty of other colleges, too.

Cornell is NOT in PA, however.

The more conceptual science stuff, CIT rocks. MIT is hands down the better engineering school. CalTech cannot even compete. If you look at programs and resources, and where the best engineers come out of, it's MIT. Even engineers from Cal, Stanford, Cornell would be better. The rankings are really tricky, and if you go visit the schools and explore their programs, you can tell that MIT is more hands on engineering and the rest of the schools have far more industry connections and just real world engineering stuff than Cal Tech. I'm not saying CIT is a bad school, it's just not the place I would see myself.

My roommate who was engineering physics completely seems the type that would fit in to Cal Tech. He's more about math, calculations, proofs, science, etc, and I know that's a place he looked into heavily. The people who I know who came out of Cal Tech are insanely smart. Not just nerdy like some friends from Berkeley, we're talking just like lives focused on calculating things in a very Beautiful Mind way almost. Now it's not like you won't see those people at MIT, but there's more of a focus on EECS in MIT from the people I've spoken too.
