As far as the Ivies go, those with the reputation of a a strong undergrad focus all rank in the Top 7. Miami (OH) and Michigan are the only publics in the Top 10, nice to see William & Mary and UMBC in the Top 20.
To me, the focus on top universities often obscures what I'm looking for in my kid's college, which is a great undergraduate teaching environment. All the research accolades can wait to matter for grad school.
1. Princeton
2. Miami (OH)
3. Yale
4. Brown
5. Rice and Wake Forest (tie)
7. Dartmouth, Michigan and Notre Dame (tie)
10. Stanford and Vanderbilt (tie)
12. William & Mary
13. Purdue
14. Duke, Georgia State, Wisconsin, and Wash U. in St. Louis (tie)
18. Cal-Berkeley, UMBC and WPI (tie)
Thanks for posting this. It's an interesting perspective.
