Examples of top programs in low ranked schools?

Top 5 program (with Harvard, Stanford and Princeton) in some sub areas of poly sci and top 15 overall.
I know a very top kid who matriculated there and was like "decent enough school but huh?" but it was a purposeful choice for her interest.

Rochester is a well respected top 50 school.

Fun thread - informative and really positive! Fwiw, Molloy College is great for nursing. Nationally ranked a maybe humble 109, but anecdotally great respect amongst hiring folks at northeast hospitals

Sure but it's not ranked alongside Harvard and Stanford in every discipline like is is in Poly Sci.

There are almost 4000 colleges in the USA. Some people act like being 109th on that list isn't good but it definitely is not bad

Pp here. Agree. Guess I was assuming I’d get piled on. I do think it’s a great program at Molloy. I know a few grads and they’re doing really well.

I am guessing they meant 109 in nursing - which means it isn't a top 10 nursing program (as OP requested). It doesn't seem to me that they think its bad at all....just outside of what OP asked for.

IU is well within the top 100.

I think people are saying that it is a cool thread but top 100 — whatever that means — should not be the threshold. Those people are right.

Really, Stanford has a great CS program. So do MIT, Caltech, Berkeley, Michigan, Cornell and UCLA. Hope that helps someone!

San Jose State U has a fantastic and well respected Computer Science an Engineering departments. It's in the heart of Silicon Valley and really takes advantage of proximity to those companies.

Too lazy to research... Does Elon have the #1 teaching program or is it #1 in undergraduate teaching?

You are wrong to get a poli sci degree unless it is from a top 5 program. And maybe even then.
