[quote=Anonymous]Purely in terms of international name rec and prestige, I think Oxbridge = HYPS and, weirdly, Georgetown. I assume it’s because of the foreign service, but weirdly I read a poll indicating that H/Y/G in that order were far and away the most favorably viewed US universities abroad. Princeton was like barely top 10. I assume it’s because it doesn’t have law or medical schools, which is how loads of internationals are exposed to other schools (I.e., folks don’t distinguish between undergrad and grad degrees, especially where the subjects are undergrad subjects abroad). On the flip side, in the US, I think Oxford is considered more prestigious than Cambridge largely because of the Rhodes. In the UK, Cambridge almost always comes out on top of ranking/prestige tables, in part because of its STEM superiority. There are actually a few subjects for which it goes Cam/Imperial/Ox, whereas Cam is at least 2nd for everything.[/quote]
