Thank you in advance & thank you for posting.

Top publics:
Binghamton University
Georgia Institute of Technology
University of Florida Florida
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
University of Maryland-College Park
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Texas-Austin Texas
University of Virginia Virginia
University of Wisconsin-Madison

The SAT scores are impressive for those publics, and the cost compared to private schools are so much cheaper, even for oos.


Top Privates:
Boston College
Carnegie Mellon University
Emory University
Georgetown University
Johns Hopkins University
Northwestern University
Rice University Texas
University of Notre Dame
University of Southern California
Vanderbilt University

I always have to laugh when someone notes this. There are LOTS of smart kids at state schools. There are LOTS of smart kids at state schools who cannot privates as full pay. They have to go somewhere. And it's nearly always to their state school.

Binghamton is the old SUNY-Binghamton. It's the flagship of the NY system. Filled with working and middle class kids from Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, Stuy, etc. who cannot afford HYPSM.

You may have never heard of it, but fairly confident your DC's GPA/SAT score is dusted by these kids.

Both the article and the accompanying list of colleges vibe with what many have observed over the past decade or so. A lot of employers aren't impressed with the general caliber of Ivy grads in recent years compared to prior generations. And anyone who has gone through the college application process recently is very much aware that Harvard, Yale, and Princeton are rarely choosing the best and brightest for admittance. They by and large have different institutional priorities these days. The real talent is going elsewhere and this list seems to reflect that. I think it's a pretty solid list of where high caliber students go presently.

This list has lots of private schools like JHU that aren’t any different in their institutional priorities than Ivy schools.

To California’s credit, their schools would likely have taken over the whole list!!

[Anonymous]

Magazines do love their rankings. The methodology doesn’t really matter—any list, credible or not, will sell/draw clicks.
