[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm assuming that UCLA is underrepresented on this thread because of an east coast bias.  There's no way that schools like UVA, UMD or Amherst have better international recognition than UCLA.  That's just silly.[/quote]

UC Berkeley was mentioned several times. :D [/quote]In my experience, UCLA may actually be better known than Berkeley in some counties because of its athletics.  Its international prestige far exceeds it's domestic reputation.  Heck, it's number 12 on the Shanghai rankings that people keep citing, above Cornell, U Penn, Hopkins and University College London, which are mentioned over and over again on this thread.[/quote]

UCLA is definitely not known to be more prestigious than Berkeley in other countries especially in Asia. [/quote]I didn't say more prestigious.  I said better known.  UCLA has incredible name recognition which increases it's reputation overall.

My guess is that Hopkins and Warren are very well known amongst certain subsets of the population, but are completely unknown to many.  I doubt that most of the foreign scientists (not medicine-related) and engineers I know have ever heard of them.  They all know UCLA.[/quote]
