[quote=Anonymous]How familiar are you with the UK schools? Hard to compare as the American university system is its own beast and differs in some very significant ways from the British system. In general, American universities are much wealthier and at the elite level, much smaller. But in terms of prestige and academic quality (with an eye on research, since that tips the scale in global reputation tables) I'd very roughly put it somewhat like this. HYPSM Oxbridge = Columbia, Caltech UCL/LSE/Imperial/St Andrews = Penn/Duke/Cornell/Northwestern/Chicago/Berkeley KCL/Edinburgh/Durham = Hopkins/Brown/Dartmouth/Rice/UCLA/UMich ...or some iteration. There are way more elite U.S. schools, and they're typically much more selective.[/quote]
