[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIT, Stanford, maybe one or two others. Berkeley? 
Few people outside the US have heard of any of these small liberal arts places like Williams.[/quote]

There sure are a lot of internationals who are aware of Amherst.  It offers generous aid to internationals.[/quote]

No, there aren't. I bet less than one in a thousand people even in the UK would have heard of Amherst.[/quote]

I bet less than one in a thousand Americans have heard of Amherst (or have an opinion on how prestigious it is). I'm from New England and knew the names of the good schools around there but had never heard of places like Grinnell or Macalester or Scripps and I bet most people outside of those parts of the country haven't, either. Nowadays you come across those names on lists of "top colleges" but people in other countries--and people who don't have high school students bound for a competitive college--don't buy US News and World Report.
