[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, the best ranking happens when you combine a lot of different rankings (focusing only on the top 50 on WSJ)

So for top 10 universities, we have HYPMS, Caltech, UPenn, Duke, Brown, and Columbia. Only really missing UChicago, but they explicitly play to the US News rankings and thus might be a little overrated.
For top 5 LACs, we have Pomona, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, and Bowdoin. Almost no one would disagree with these 5, though the order might shift around.  
For top 5 public Us, we have Berkeley, UCLA, U of M, UVA, and UNC Chapel Hill. Again, [b]that exact order is pretty much how undergrad reputation for public universities go[/b].

It's interesting to see how different rankings vary. WSJ does seem to favor public universities. [/quote]

I've lived near Berkeley and UCLA.  I know they are really good schools overall (particularly Berkeley), but I can't say I have a great view on their undergraduate education.  It seems like undergraduates are often the afterthought compared to research and graduate students.[/quote]
