[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who is local, here is how things tier out in my mind (each row is its own tier, not ranked within each tier) - also, didn't include state schools or schools outside of the metro Boston area:

Harvard/MIT
BC/BU/Tufts/Wellesley/Babson
Northeastern/Bentley/Brandeis
(Deliberate space here)
Anything else you've barely heard of - Suffolk, Merrimack, Curry, Simmons, Lesley, Stonehill, Endicott

* Emerson, Berklee, Wentworth, MCPHS are specialized in my mind so I didn't rank them. I never know where to put Wheaton.[/quote]

Good list[/quote]

Updated list (for the year 2000 forward): 
Harvard/MIT 
Tufts
Wellesley 
BC/Northeastern
BU
Others[/quote]

This is right[/quote]

I agree.  I would even put MIT at the top by itself, because Harvard is not known for their engineering. BC and BU and Northeastern have all shifted so much in the past few decades, and so many people have no idea. [/quote]

Ha. BU has changed a lot. In 2002 one of my cousins enrolled there (for freshman year), and hated it so much that he left after a month. He decided to go to his second choice school instead—a directional U in his home state of CT.[/quote]

Not surprised. [/quote]
