[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is also a stretch to call Cal Tech a national university; it has 2400 students, including grad students, and in that sense has more in common with Harvey Mudd than any of the schools on the list (Harvey Mudd being yet another top 20 or top 25 candidate).[/quote]

+1000[/quote]

It's not a stretch at all to call Caltech (it's not Cal Tech) a university.  The distinction is based on research and graduate programs, not the number of students.[/quote]
We are talking about undergrad education here. Caltech has 1000 undergrads. Let me repeat: one thousand. That’s 1/2 the size of most SLACs. These distinctions are silly.

Caltech belongs in the top 10. So does Williams. So does Duke.

That’s 8.

Penn does not belong (any time you need a Wharton asterisk to justify it, the school is not top 10).

Then we have Brown and Dartmouth and Amherst and Pomona. Give the nod to Amherst here.

That’s 9.

The last is tough because Pomona is so on the rise. But give it to Brown for another 5 years.
