Hi, Crimson Education, Indonesian here, would you mind giving me the information about Top 10 Environmental Studies/Sciences schools in USA or you should probably make one on another video, many thanks for your help, highly appreciated☺️😊
I think people need to realize that it’s hard for them to choose 10 schools to compare since comparing a school like Berkeley is completely different to a school like Amherst. Both great schools, but size and variety of major make them super different. There are so many colleges that deserve to be on this list, and honestly there should just be a video titled TOP 10 PUBLIC SCHOOLS and TOP 10 LIBERAL ART SCHOOLS or PRIVATE SCHOOLS to compare schools on a more equal level.
I agree, and would add it depends on what you're majoring in. Berkeley is head and shoulders above other school in the math and sciences dept. Not every school is great in every area, and that's not even taking into account post grad areas of study....like Law, or Medicine. The University of Virginia comes to mind for Law.
You are so correct. Also, what matters is student satisfaction. If kids aren't happy at Berkley (and I've known a few) who cares? It's all about grad school in most cases anyway.
Colleges and universities should be compared by major/group of majors: top 10 colleges and universities in computer science, engineering, pre-med, etc.
My mom tooks her master at Berkeley before the 21st she was declared a for 4-points standards norm for Ivy league standards . Any school that accept that 4-points standards is an a ivy league.
He seemed to have weather as a dominating factor in this list. It was the only distinction he made when declaring CalTech #2. MIT is definitely superior to CalTech and is more widely known to be the top engineering school, so if it weren't for weather, I'm sure he would have switched MIT with CalTech.
JMikel213 the fact that Einstein lectures there ages ago should not effect the ranking. They have very similar rankings, reputation and difficulty of courses. They should be a lot closer together.
ProSoc10 it definitely depends on the subject. Besides, overall, MIT has a much higher ranking than Caltech. Also the standard of teaching is lower at Caltech. They are both really good schools anyways and my point is that they should not have such a difference in ranking in the video.
If y'all ever watch the Big Bang Theory, Howard is just a MIT master, while the rest of them are researchers in CalTech. (Leonard's PhD from Princeton I believe.) And, they made fun of Howard about it all the time. That says all. lol
UC Berkeley is actually very easy to get into compared to the others on this list if you transfer from a California Community College. I just had a 3.71 GPA during community college and didn't participate in any clubs and got accepted into UC Berkeley for the upcoming fall. It's a real-life cheat code.
It’s because it’s the only public school on the list. But 22 percent acceptance rate (transfer) is by no means easy. You must’ve had something they were looking for, or you wrote a pretty bomb essay.
For reference, U of M Ann Arbor is well known in my area of Michigan for being very tough to get into as a freshman but much less difficult to get into when you transfer, especially out of another lower ranked U of M campus. I’m not 100% sure if that’s intentional on the school’s part, but if someone gets into the Ann Arbor campus as a freshman, it’s considered a huge deal.
I find Michigan more accessible than people think, especially for graduate studies. A family friend of mine settled near Detroit when he immigrated here and went to Dearborn then Ann Arbor. He’s a die-hard Wolverine and doesn’t care about prestige. His kids are going the same route. A lot of Penn State late bloomers start at a regional campus and finish at State College. Sometimes being a local is the only thing you need to get into these schools, at least in post-grad life. The admissions office will understand.
Rice, WashU, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame... These beat out some on the list in my opinion. Obviously schools like caltech and Berkeley make the list because of their intellectual reputation, but social/campus life should have a bearing on the ranking as well.
I think this is just based on academics, not any social factors. I think academically the colleges you listed are just a notch below the ones listed here. Notre Dame probably way below...
Simply put. The best university or college is the one that works for the individual. I went to N.C. State University and cannot imagine getting a better education in Engineering. I had 3 job offers before I graduated including one in Research Triangle Park, which is very competitive. I later went to a private law school and it was just much more expensive than a state school. I probably paid double the cost of going to UNC law school for the same education. The most important thing is work ethic. Second is the major you study. Third and least important is the school you attend.
Yes...and no. The differences in a school like N.C. State and, say, Stanford are pretty stark. Not only does Stanford have vastly more resources to supplement your education, but the proximity to STEM jobs immediately after graduation and the positives with student networking at Stanford are two of its most valuable aspects. I agree that any competent and gifted student at NC State will do well. However, you'll have many more opportunities for success AT schools like Stanford and AFTER you graduate. Your first two points (i.e., work ethic and major) are givens at such schools because of just how selective they are. You simply won't find mediocre students on campus. As the old proverb goes, "Iron sharpens iron." So, you'll find yourself rubbing shoulders with many of the nation's top students. Moreover, the tangibles and intangibles at such top schools are often more difficult to grasp at lower ranked public or private universities (particularly those with smaller endowments and proximity a bit further outside of areas with more research jobs in particular fields). While the 'research triangle' exists in North Carolina, it's a bit smaller in total jobs and opportunities compared with Stanford's proximity to the Silicon Valley or Harvard's and MIT's proximity to Boston-Cambridge.
How can you rank MIT 9 and Caltech 2? Why are you basing your ranking so highly on selectivity? That metric is so less telling than career success. MIT should at least be ranked in top 3, especially because it is ranked the top university in the world by QS.
BigNickPoodle You are right to question this but your hypothesis you posed is flawed. MIT has slightly lower acceptance rate than Caltech, so MIT is actually MORE selective.
Tbh I have no idea what the relative career successes of Caltech and MIT are, but while Caltech is suffocatingly small MIT has a larger student population so I am sure MIT by sheer numbers also has better "career success" than Caltech. This gives MIT a good reason to be ranked higher.
I got into Northwestern and this video really warms my heart since a lot of people in my country don’t really understand how great it is. Failed to get into Stanford btw. I am not really into advertising but this channel helped me a lot in my application/decision process. Thank you and your team!!!
what's not talked about enough is how at some of these schools, the acceptance rate is higher if you're transferring from another school that's less competitive (or expensive). University of Michigan's regular acceptance rate is 23% while it's transfer acceptance rate is 39%... just some potentially useful information for anyone looking into colleges right now there's no shame in going to a local institution for your first two years. I'm in community college now but I'm active in my school clubs and organizations, have a high GPA, and have been making connections and I plan on applying to Michigan and some other somewhat selective schools (Emerson College, Trinity College Hartford to name a few). I would not have even been considered with my high school GPA but I've improved tremendously during my time in college which colleges care about the most. sorry this was longer than I expected it to be, but just a helpful tip!
You are right. I graduated from the university that initially rejected me, lol. I attended a small college for my freshman year, performed well, and then transferred out (even got a scholarship).
Same thing with all the Florida Universities, especially University of Florida. Some of the acceptance rates look high but I believe all of the universities have a high acceptance rates for CC transfers. Their freshman rates are much lower. I went to a CC to save money.
Percent admitted is not a measure of selectivity; it is a function of number of applicants and predicted yield rate. A real measure of selectivity is what it takes to get in -- stats, extracurriculars, legacy points, etc.
The thing is "Ivy League" is just a historical term for the sport league of the old NorthEastern schools. It doesn't mean quality. Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and UofPenn are not better than those mentioned in the video. Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, UT Austin, Chicago..etc kick the ivys I mentioned above.
Ur wild. UPenn and Cornell are professional schools. None of these schools kick them in anything and perhaps Stanford Berkeley have better sciences but neither are known for being science schools. If you want a career in law, business, or finance anyone with half a brain would pick Penn and Cornell over any of those schools. Wharton alone crushes any of these schools in alumni and post grad payoff
JHU no longer has an option for freshmen to take their classes Pass/Fail. The covered grade system was terminated last year (2017). Unfortunately, I was entering Hopkins as a freshman in 2017... :/
Part of the reason Georgetown is selective has to do with building ordinances. The real estate to a small area with no room for expansion. You can't build vertical because of its location along the Potomac River with FAA-security measures at DCA.
NOTRE DAME, Emory, Vanderbilt, Pomona College, Wesleyan, Swarthmore, USC, WashU, Amherst, Barnard, Boston U, Bowdoin, Carleton, Claremont McKenna, Colgate, Davison, Denison, Grinnell, Mcalester, Rice, Oberlin, Tufts, and even Middlebury or Kalamazoo for privates Public you got to have University of Virginia, some of the UCs, UNC Chapel Hill, University of Florida, Georgia, Texas at Austin, William and Mary, and hopefully Wisconsin Madison apart from the ones listed

United States Military Academy 4. United States Merchant Marine 3. California Institute of Technology 2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1. Harvey Mudd College
@@kevinbergin9971 I believe that list is average mid-career salaries. Many service academy grads choose civilian careers after their active duty commitment, but even during that commitment, five years at $40k+ with room & board comp'd and zero college debt.
depends on the degree - Tech students coming out of UCLA, Standford, UC Berkely, UW, USC are making double/triple (in their mid twenties) what a mid-career Harvey Mudd grad makes - Facts
At the start of this freshman year in high school I set one goal in my mind. I am going to Stanford and nobody can stop me. Come back to this comment in 4 years.
Lol as a senior applying to a metric shitton of schools, here's my advice for a 4year game plan for stanford- 1) have an astronomical Gpa- take every AP IB class you can find. 2) 1500 SAT and 34 ACT minimum 3) at least three SAT subject tests with 730 minimum in each 4) start something. Because president of something else. Start another thing. 5) impress teachers NOW. their rec letters matter more than you think. 6) if you're a STEM kid, do a crap ton of research, get into competitions and WIN at them. Publish a paper before December of senior year. 7) if not a STEM kid then become varsity in a sport or a nationally recognized writer or artist or whatever you're into. Simply doing it won't be enough. You'll need to be the best. 8) when the time comes to write you essays, start early and write and revise and wrote and revise and write and revise x1000. Good luck.
Ultimately what is the best school for you and your interest. For engineering majors don't overlook Illinois/Urbana. Many of these Ivy league schools or near Ivy are pressure cookers. Balance and enjoying this period of your life is very important as well.
For me, an American, I really enjoy French so I intend to apply next year to Concordia university and McGill university in Montreal. McGill often ranks higher than some and is less selective than most Ivy League schools
The College of William and Mary should definitely be on the list, and I'm not just saying that because it's my Alma Mater, it's the reason I CHOSE it as my Alma Mater. I beat out grads from quite a few schools on this list for my current position, and I became a high middle class homeowner by the age of 25. My alma mater was 75 % of my resume, got me one and a half foot in many doors. It is the quintessential Non-Ivy Ivy. Yes, at 37% it has a higher acceptance rate than most on this list, aside from Michigan, but that's because few students with less than a 4.0 GPA waste their time applying. It also has the highest graduation rate of any college in Virginia by far, because again, you don't get accepted there by simply winging it in High School. A common misconception is that a school with a very high graduation rate must be easy and a school with a very low graduation rate must be hard. But it's not like the Navy Seal training drop out rate, just the opposite. Some of the best colleges have high graduation rates because it's the hardest workers who get accepted in the first place. Hardest workers should be stressed over bright minds, because any person of average intelligence can become highly successful if they put their mind to it from day one.
💯W&M! My son goes there! Really smart, academically driven and kind student population. The school has been voted having the happiest students many times. Top notch professors too. Gorgeous campus. All around top notch school. Also known as one of 8 public ivies. 😜
This ranking couldn't be any worse. It goes #1 Stanford #2 MIT #3 UChicago #4 CalTech #5 UC Berkeley #6 Duke #7 Johns Hopkins #8 Northwestern #9 UCLA #10 Williams
Selectivity is determined by how many people apply. If they have a freshman class cap of 3000 and 50000 apply thats an acceptance rate of 6%. The less apply the higher the rate even though the same caliber of students are accepted.
This list is good. People here need to relax. The US has dozens of exceptional colleges and universities. Picking just 10 is bound to be controversial. The 10 on this list are legitimate, but one can easily add and remove schools from this list without compromising the list.
1. Stanford 2.MIT 3 . Duke 4. University of Michigan 5 . Johns Hopkins 6. University of Chicago 7. UC Berkeley 8. Caltech 9. Ucla 10. Georgia institute of technology
In most states outside the northeast, usually that state university is the oldest and most distinguished institution in the state. In the New England and the Middle Atlantic States this is not the case because of the presence of distinguished private institutions dating back to the 18th Century (i.e, the Ivy League) . URI, SUNY campuses, UMass, UNH, Rutgers, Penn State and UCONN might therefore be called the _ _ _S _N Ivy League
My list (non-exhaustive): UChicago WashU (most) Big Ten universities Stanford Notre Dame MIT Caltech tons of LACs (across the nation, in every region; could be secular or religious LACs) conservatories like Peabody, Eastman and Curtis (if we put Julliard as the most popular) the California public university system Deep Springs College (2-year college) Underrated engineering schools in the Midwest (often overlooked for Big Ten unis): IIT Michigan Tech Rose Hulman Not necessarily "top", but "good" to "decent" nonetheless: SEC universities regional universities that have a direction in their name like Eastern, Wester, Southern (smaller classes, more intimate-professional relationship w/ professors, cheaper tuition) The beauty about the higher education landscape in the US is its diversity of options not replicated anywhere in the world. It's wide and deep, where there's a school for everyone, no matter if they're the traditional student or non-traditional student going back to school after 20 years of being in the workforce.
Very good choices, but there are other distinguished schools that are Ivy-League caliber. These include Rice, Vanderbilt, Tufts, Univ. of Virginia, Rockefeller, Emory, UCLA, UNC - Chapel Hill, Georgia Tech, Washington - St. Louis, UW - Madison, and UIUC (to name a few). Quite surprised to see Williams on the list. It certainly is an outstanding school, but it caters exclusively to undergrads; all the others have graduate and professional programs.
most of these were my dream schools but I had a couple that was not on the list. I also dreamed of several religious-affiliated schools. Here was my personal dream list not in any particular order 1) University of Notre Damn 2) Baylor University 3) Liberty University-Current School 4) UC Davis 5) UC Irvine 6) Stanford University 7) Johns Hopkins University 8) MIT 9) CSU Fullerton 10) Chapman University
Of the list above, unless you’re published or have done original research, no matter if you have a 4.5 gpa, remove Stanford and JHU. Notre Dame is terrific! But are you Catholic? Makes a huge difference. The rest are wonderful schools that want student success. Good luck!
Primarily because of private university tuitions. Unless you're rich, you'll need a scholarship or you'll go into serious debt. Schools are less likely to accept you knowing you will need a scholarship or you'll go broke.
What is the basis for being a “top university”. If you’re referring to student prowess and career success, Berkeley, Duke, UMich, John Hopkins would not be close to MIT, much less ranked ahead. The average Berkeley student would go through depression if he had to compete against MIT students.
Juan Marquis-Knight absolutely, we're not talking about top Berkeley vs top MIT students. MIT is much more selective, the average student is objectively more capable. Where as Berkeley undergrads always consists of a quota of average California kids due to its public school stature.
I see what you are saying, I would agree to that due to the nature of Berkeley being public. But I believe a better comparison would be CAL Tech to MIT due to them being selective and more of an emphasis in STEM
The sole basis for being a top university is its contribution to the world!! Look for indicators like the number of Nobel laureates amongst the faculty and students. The number of elements on the Periodic Table named after the university, etc. Super selective and small universities like Caltech can keep their class sizes small and averages high.... but can never generate the scale and impact of a Berkeley! So you will find many many more Berkeley grads in Silicon Valley than Caltech grads. That’s Berkeley’s contribution where Caltech cannot match. Some weeder courses in Berkeley have more than 1000 students per class. Being a Public University, Berkeley has a social responsibility to meet unlike these moly-codling Private Schools. At the end of the day its contribution to the world far exceeds almost any other university. No doubt it figures in the “Global Elite Six” university which includes MIT ( but not Caltech), Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, Oxford and Cambridge.
@@atanumandal3586 Silicon Valley is located near where Berkeley is, so that is an unfair comparison. That's like saying CalTech contributing to more to JPL makes it better than Berkeley. Location is important.
As of October 2023, 101 Nobel laureates,[10] 26 Turing Award winners, and 8 Fields Medalists have been affiliated with MIT as alumni, faculty members, or researchers.[11] In addition, 58 National Medal of Science recipients, 29 National Medals of Technology and Innovation recipients, 50 MacArthur Fellows,[12] 83 Marshall Scholars,[13] 41 astronauts,[14] 16 Chief Scientists of the US Air Force, and 1 foreign head of state have been affiliated with MIT. The institute also has a strong entrepreneurial culture and MIT alumni have founded or co-founded many notable companies.
Personally I'd also say that all of the public ivies are a pretty good way to attend an ivy league type school of sorts, but they're still all public schools. So if you live in a state with one of those public ivies, your chances of getting in go up if you apply and you have to pay less to go. They mentioned a few in this video but there's also other public ivies.
CAREERS The 10 universities with the most top-ranked programs Abigail Hess | @AbigailJHess 12:02 PM ET Wed, 7 March 2018 These are the top U.S. universities These are the top universities in the US Every university has its own specific - and in some cases, surprising - strength. For instance, the University of Pittsburgh has the best philosophy program in the world. Colorado School of Mines offers the best engineering program. University of California, Davis is home to the number one veterinary sciences program in the world. That's according to UK-based higher education analytics company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). QS calculated statistics from hundreds of universities worldwide to see which institutions were the strongest in 48 different subjects, from accounting to veterinary science. They found that 10 institutions consistently landed in the top 10 places of these subject rankings.

Harvard had 14 number one programs - including in Accounting, Business and Medicine - and 34 top-10 programs. American universities account for more than half of the list, but according to QS's research, there was a slight decrease in the dominance of American universities in 2018. "To be clear: It is going to be some time before the US's pre-eminence as a higher education research nation could reasonably be said to be in dispute," says Ben Sowter, Research Director at QS. "But our 2018 results indicate that it is being relentlessly diminished by increasingly competitive research programs in nations around the world." "In previous years, we have seen 'second-tier' U.S. institutions find themselves beleaguered by ranking regressions," explained Sowter. "However, the performances of top institutions such as Cornell, UCLA and Yale - especially the latter, whose top-10 tally is now matched by the National University of Singapore - suggest that very few institutions are insulated from the inexorable worldwide improvement we are observing."

I wish someone would explain to students (and parents, and the world) the IVY League is a SPORTS LEAGUE!! Not an academic league. it just so happens to be an extremely old sports league so the schools that are part of the 'ivy league' are really old schools.
some tough calls here. M over UCLA? Williams but not Amherst? at least you included one of them... I also would have gone with Williams because of its commitment to collegiate athletics.
How come MIT wasn't even in the Top 5 (or Top 3)? MIT beats Harvard (and some Ivy League institutions) in some rankings of the World's Best Universities.
What is the point in all these rankings when it is all down to the student dedication and hard work no matter which college he or she is attending? Apple CEO, Time Cook is a graduate from Auburn University which is ranked 97 by US News. Walmart CEO, Doug McMillon is a graduate from University of Tulsa which is ranked 143. Randall Stephenson, former CEO of AT&T is graduate from University of Central Oklahoma which is ranked 68th amongst all colleges in the Southern states. The list is endless.
This is a dumb video. It's listed as "Top 10 Colleges," yet it goes on and lists universities along with colleges. Colleges and universities should be in different lists.
UCLA is understandable but UT Austin and Georgia Tech are the second best schools in their respective states. Rice and Emory are the first. He should’ve put those on this list
Wife..turned down Stanford for Cornell, UCLA. Me...Stanford, UCLA. Daughter...Baylor, Duke. nephew, Naval Academy... niece, Northwestern, Chicago... niece, USC, niece, Stanford. Cousin, USC, Yale. All good, none better than the other, and none are "if I can just get in there, my life will be set!". That is a really unfortunate mindset that seems to have originated in parents of the 1970s that seems to be pervasive and intractable. Go wherever you want, find your passion, and work toward it. The cream will always, over a few years, rise to the top, even for a person who starts at community college, then transfers into Big State U.
A lot of people rank Duke highly because of the gothic architecture, cathedral, etc. It was founded only in 1924 and built to look like an old (Ivy League) school.
@@iReversaLHD Michigan is better than Berkeley from an overall standpoint. Judas priest, UCB doesn't even have a medical school and is barely financially solvent!
Good list, hard to argue with it. I would not classify the Ivy League as the top eight universities in the country. But if you were to create a list of the top 20 universities, all eight would certainly appear on the list. So these schools you mention, particularly the private schools, would all be academic peers of the Ivy League schools. If you were creating a top 20 list, I would include the eight Ivies, these ten, and then add Rice University, and then take one of the University of Notre Dame, Georgetown, or UCLA. Incidentally, many people think of the Ivy League as an academic affiliation. But it is actually an NCAA athletic league, like the SEC or Big Ten, except that it does not allow for athletic scholarships and it competes at the division 1 FCS level. It is just an athletic league that happens to be made up of eight very elite universities.
Actually, you're comparing Duke's RA acceptance rate with MIT's overall acceptance rate. Duke's overall acceptance rate was 8.3%. That being said, Duke is still an amazing school.

I agree, and would add it depends on what you're majoring in. Berkeley is head and shoulders above other school in the math and sciences dept. Not every school is great in every area, and that's not even taking into account post grad areas of study....like Law, or Medicine. The University of Virginia comes to mind for Law.

Duke and MIT should be in the top 3. If not at least the top 5
I thought for sure MIT would be in the top 3 also. U of Chicago is also excellent.
He seemed to have weather as a dominating factor in this list. It was the only distinction he made when declaring CalTech #2. MIT is definitely superior to CalTech and is more widely known to be the top engineering school, so if it weren't for weather, I'm sure he would have switched MIT with CalTech.
I agree there is no way Berkley is in the top 3. Good school but not close to duke or mit
I thought MIT and Stanford would be top 2. MIT is constantly ranked first in the world
Haha ur probably only saying that cuz those are the only names u know
Actually, MIT was featured in Captain America: Civil War and not in Avengers Age of Ultron as stated in the video.
Anthony Villegas I was just about to comment the same thing
It's also featured in the Iron Man comic books, since that's where Tony Stark supposedly graduated from at 17.
What about “21” ?
if it were in Age of Ultron then it wouldve been destroyed in a non existing country lol
It was also mentioned in the very first Iron Man film during the awards ceremony scene.
How is Caltech so much higher than MIT. Just because there isn’t snow?
Einstein gave lectures at Cal Tech, plus they have JPL and NASA.
JMikel213 the fact that Einstein lectures there ages ago should not effect the ranking. They have very similar rankings, reputation and difficulty of courses. They should be a lot closer together.
Fa Phanachet Caltech’s courses are more difficult than MIT’s. Google it
ProSoc10 it definitely depends on the subject. Besides, overall, MIT has a much higher ranking than Caltech. Also the standard of teaching is lower at Caltech. They are both really good schools anyways and my point is that they should not have such a difference in ranking in the video.
If y'all ever watch the Big Bang Theory, Howard is just a MIT master, while the rest of them are researchers in CalTech. (Leonard's PhD from Princeton I believe.) And, they made fun of Howard about it all the time. That says all. lol

@Tyra C. I agree, but who knows what this statistics this was based on ...it is only an opinion on youtube after all.

UC Berkeley is actually very easy to get into compared to the others on this list if you transfer from a California Community College. I just had a 3.71 GPA during community college and didn't participate in any clubs and got accepted into UC Berkeley for the upcoming fall. It's a real-life cheat code.
It's because Berkeley has so many dropouts in first 2 years
Agreed, many often do just that.
It’s because it’s the only public school on the list. But 22 percent acceptance rate (transfer) is by no means easy. You must’ve had something they were looking for, or you wrote a pretty bomb essay.
Congratulations 🎊, do they provide full funding opportunities for students at Graduate level?
@@blessingncube8743 I have no idea, I'm an undergrad
For reference, U of M Ann Arbor is well known in my area of Michigan for being very tough to get into as a freshman but much less difficult to get into when you transfer, especially out of another lower ranked U of M campus. I’m not 100% sure if that’s intentional on the school’s part, but if someone gets into the Ann Arbor campus as a freshman, it’s considered a huge deal.
This is mostly for in state admissions, I’m not so sure about out of state.
I find Michigan more accessible than people think, especially for graduate studies. A family friend of mine settled near Detroit when he immigrated here and went to Dearborn then Ann Arbor. He’s a die-hard Wolverine and doesn’t care about prestige. His kids are going the same route. A lot of Penn State late bloomers start at a regional campus and finish at State College.
Sometimes being a local is the only thing you need to get into these schools, at least in post-grad life. The admissions office will understand.
Rice, WashU, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame... These beat out some on the list in my opinion. Obviously schools like caltech and Berkeley make the list because of their intellectual reputation, but social/campus life should have a bearing on the ranking as well.
spencer chrein Exactly! WashU’s medical school beats out a lot on the list as well.
no way UWA over the other public ivies like UNC or UVA
I think this is just based on academics, not any social factors. I think academically the colleges you listed are just a notch below the ones listed here. Notre Dame probably way below...
Emory too
Riceee
Simply put. The best university or college is the one that works for the individual. I went to N.C. State University and cannot imagine getting a better education in Engineering. I had 3 job offers before I graduated including one in Research Triangle Park, which is very competitive. I later went to a private law school and it was just much more expensive than a state school. I probably paid double the cost of going to UNC law school for the same education. The most important thing is work ethic. Second is the major you study. Third and least important is the school you attend.
Yes...and no. The differences in a school like N.C. State and, say, Stanford are pretty stark. Not only does Stanford have vastly more resources to supplement your education, but the proximity to STEM jobs immediately after graduation and the positives with student networking at Stanford are two of its most valuable aspects. I agree that any competent and gifted student at NC State will do well. However, you'll have many more opportunities for success AT schools like Stanford and AFTER you graduate.
Your first two points (i.e., work ethic and major) are givens at such schools because of just how selective they are. You simply won't find mediocre students on campus. As the old proverb goes, "Iron sharpens iron." So, you'll find yourself rubbing shoulders with many of the nation's top students.
Moreover, the tangibles and intangibles at such top schools are often more difficult to grasp at lower ranked public or private universities (particularly those with smaller endowments and proximity a bit further outside of areas with more research jobs in particular fields). While the 'research triangle' exists in North Carolina, it's a bit smaller in total jobs and opportunities compared with Stanford's proximity to the Silicon Valley or Harvard's and MIT's proximity to Boston-Cambridge.
Damn they left DeVry university out :(
And university of Phoenix ts rigged 😔

How can you rank MIT 9 and Caltech 2? Why are you basing your ranking so highly on selectivity? That metric is so less telling than career success. MIT should at least be ranked in top 3, especially because it is ranked the top university in the world by QS.
BigNickPoodle You are right to question this but your hypothesis you posed is flawed. MIT has slightly lower acceptance rate than Caltech, so MIT is actually MORE selective.
Tbh I have no idea what the relative career successes of Caltech and MIT are, but while Caltech is suffocatingly small MIT has a larger student population so I am sure MIT by sheer numbers also has better "career success" than Caltech. This gives MIT a good reason to be ranked higher.
BigNickPoodle By your logic, then the rankings would be baised towards bigger schools right? Which would be unfair.
TheRealReal Yes, I guess that’s true. I also am not a fan of super small schools.
Agree! MIT should have been way up in the list...
You put Berkeley and Michigan In here over Vanderbilt? Or wash u in St. Louis? Emory? Georgetown? Notre Dame? Rice?
You should look up Berkeley's rankings by individual departments and you would understand why
Berkeley is one of the best in the world so...
JT Jones lmao Michigan is a powerhouse in rankings.
Of course Berkeley is better than Vanderbilt and Georgetown. For the note, I got into all. Lmao
Michigan is top in their engineering and CS departments
I got into Northwestern and this video really warms my heart since a lot of people in my country don’t really understand how great it is. Failed to get into Stanford btw.
I am not really into advertising but this channel helped me a lot in my application/decision process. Thank you and your team!!!
Nuremir Babanov congrats on northwestern!
Yeah UCLA. Harvard, Stanford, and yale I believe are the most known outside the USA
I am also an incoming student at Northwestern. What is your major??
Tell me about it! Where I live people seem to not only not know about its greatness but also seem to think it’s a place for rejects!
What about Carnegie Mellon University?
what's not talked about enough is how at some of these schools, the acceptance rate is higher if you're transferring from another school that's less competitive (or expensive). University of Michigan's regular acceptance rate is 23% while it's transfer acceptance rate is 39%... just some potentially useful information for anyone looking into colleges right now there's no shame in going to a local institution for your first two years. I'm in community college now but I'm active in my school clubs and organizations, have a high GPA, and have been making connections and I plan on applying to Michigan and some other somewhat selective schools (Emerson College, Trinity College Hartford to name a few). I would not have even been considered with my high school GPA but I've improved tremendously during my time in college which colleges care about the most.
sorry this was longer than I expected it to be, but just a helpful tip!
You are right. I graduated from the university that initially rejected me, lol. I attended a small college for my freshman year, performed well, and then transferred out (even got a scholarship).
Same thing with all the Florida Universities, especially University of Florida. Some of the acceptance rates look high but I believe all of the universities have a high acceptance rates for CC transfers. Their freshman rates are much lower. I went to a CC to save money.
You have a great strategy!.
Why should acceptance rate be talked about? It’s not a measure of prestige, but of exclusivity and elitism.
Percent admitted is not a measure of selectivity; it is a function of number of applicants and predicted yield rate. A real measure of selectivity is what it takes to get in -- stats, extracurriculars, legacy points, etc.
The thing is "Ivy League" is just a historical term for the sport league of the old NorthEastern schools. It doesn't mean quality. Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and UofPenn are not better than those mentioned in the video. Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, UT Austin, Chicago..etc kick the ivys I mentioned above.
Ur wild. UPenn and Cornell are professional schools. None of these schools kick them in anything and perhaps Stanford Berkeley have better sciences but neither are known for being science schools. If you want a career in law, business, or finance anyone with half a brain would pick Penn and Cornell over any of those schools. Wharton alone crushes any of these schools in alumni and post grad payoff

Part of the reason Georgetown is selective has to do with building ordinances. The real estate to a small area with no room for expansion. You can't build vertical because of its location along the Potomac River with FAA-security measures at DCA.

Leak Central Good luck :)
Lol as a senior applying to a metric shitton of schools, here's my advice for a 4year game plan for stanford- 1) have an astronomical Gpa- take every AP IB class you can find. 2) 1500 SAT and 34 ACT minimum 3) at least three SAT subject tests with 730 minimum in each 4) start something. Because president of something else. Start another thing. 5) impress teachers NOW. their rec letters matter more than you think. 6) if you're a STEM kid, do a crap ton of research, get into competitions and WIN at them. Publish a paper before December of senior year. 7) if not a STEM kid then become varsity in a sport or a nationally recognized writer or artist or whatever you're into. Simply doing it won't be enough. You'll need to be the best. 8) when the time comes to write you essays, start early and write and revise and wrote and revise and write and revise x1000. Good luck.

Ultimately what is the best school for you and your interest. For engineering majors don't overlook Illinois/Urbana. Many of these Ivy league schools or near Ivy are pressure cookers. Balance and enjoying this period of your life is very important as well.
Yeah a School that makes you feel Good is what is needed for a particular Person in Academics or School
For me, an American, I really enjoy French so I intend to apply next year to Concordia university and McGill university in Montreal. McGill often ranks higher than some and is less selective than most Ivy League schools
nice! any school updates?

@@gemmahudack6182 oh sad to hear that mate, but nevertheless, all the best! Concordia is pretty good too 😄
Fun fact: in 1953, CBS had the Johns Hopkins Science Hour on TV.
I'm stuck, I can not confirm nor deny this list. But I am surprised by the list. Thumbs up.
The College of William and Mary should definitely be on the list, and I'm not just saying that because it's my Alma Mater, it's the reason I CHOSE it as my Alma Mater. I beat out grads from quite a few schools on this list for my current position, and I became a high middle class homeowner by the age of 25. My alma mater was 75 % of my resume, got me one and a half foot in many doors. It is the quintessential Non-Ivy Ivy.
Yes, at 37% it has a higher acceptance rate than most on this list, aside from Michigan, but that's because few students with less than a 4.0 GPA waste their time applying. It also has the highest graduation rate of any college in Virginia by far, because again, you don't get accepted there by simply winging it in High School.
A common misconception is that a school with a very high graduation rate must be easy and a school with a very low graduation rate must be hard. But it's not like the Navy Seal training drop out rate, just the opposite. Some of the best colleges have high graduation rates because it's the hardest workers who get accepted in the first place. Hardest workers should be stressed over bright minds, because any person of average intelligence can become highly successful if they put their mind to it from day one.
💯W&M! My son goes there! Really smart, academically driven and kind student population. The school has been voted having the happiest students many times. Top notch professors too. Gorgeous campus. All around top notch school. Also known as one of 8 public ivies. 😜
Thomas Jefferson is appreciative of your endorsement!
I agree. William & Mary is a fantastic college
What a joke. William and Mary is certainly NOT among the top 10 colleges not in the Ivy League. This is nowhere close to accurate.
This ranking couldn't be any worse. It goes #1 Stanford #2 MIT #3 UChicago #4 CalTech #5 UC Berkeley #6 Duke #7 Johns Hopkins #8 Northwestern #9 UCLA #10 Williams
uh why is it ranked from east coast to west coast? mit really at 9th and umich is placed above it?
I don't think it was in numeric order
Juan Marquis-Knight they go from 10th to 1st, kind of implying order
I get that but then I would assume MIT and Hopkins would be higher on the list especially over Michigan
For the past 50 or so years nearly all of MIT's presidents have been UMich grads, and THAT should tell you something!
Selectivity is determined by how many people apply. If they have a freshman class cap of 3000 and 50000 apply thats an acceptance rate of 6%. The less apply the higher the rate even though the same caliber of students are accepted.
No Ronald McDonald Hamburger University?? No credibility!

In most states outside the northeast, usually that state university is the oldest and most distinguished institution in the state.

It's wide and deep, where there's a school for everyone, no matter if they're the traditional student or non-traditional student going back to school after 20 years of being in the workforce.
Very good choices, but there are other distinguished schools that are Ivy-League caliber. These include Rice, Vanderbilt, Tufts, Univ. of Virginia, Rockefeller, Emory, UCLA, UNC - Chapel Hill, Georgia Tech, Washington - St. Louis, UW - Madison, and UIUC (to name a few).

Yo where are UVA, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Rice, Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon, UNC, UCLA, USC. Get rid of Michigan and Berkeley on this list.
What is the basis for being a “top university”. If you’re referring to student prowess and career success, Berkeley, Duke, UMich, John Hopkins would not be close to MIT, much less ranked ahead. The average Berkeley student would go through depression if he had to compete against MIT students.
That's a bold statement
Juan Marquis-Knight absolutely, we're not talking about top Berkeley vs top MIT students. MIT is much more selective, the average student is objectively more capable. Where as Berkeley undergrads always consists of a quota of average California kids due to its public school stature.
I see what you are saying, I would agree to that due to the nature of Berkeley being public. But I believe a better comparison would be CAL Tech to MIT due to them being selective and more of an emphasis in STEM
The sole basis for being a top university is its contribution to the world!!
Look for indicators like the number of Nobel laureates amongst the faculty and students. The number of elements on the Periodic Table named after the university, etc.
Super selective and small universities like Caltech can keep their class sizes small and averages high.... but can never generate the scale and impact of a Berkeley!
So you will find many many more Berkeley grads in Silicon Valley than Caltech grads. That’s Berkeley’s contribution where Caltech cannot match.
Some weeder courses in Berkeley have more than 1000 students per class. Being a Public University, Berkeley has a social responsibility to meet unlike these moly-codling Private Schools. At the end of the day its contribution to the world far exceeds almost any other university. No doubt it figures in the “Global Elite Six” university which includes MIT ( but not Caltech), Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, Oxford and Cambridge.
@@atanumandal3586 Silicon Valley is located near where Berkeley is, so that is an unfair comparison. That's like saying CalTech contributing to more to JPL makes it better than Berkeley. Location is important.
As of October 2023, 101 Nobel laureates,[10] 26 Turing Award winners, and 8 Fields Medalists have been affiliated with MIT as alumni, faculty members, or researchers.[11] In addition, 58 National Medal of Science recipients, 29 National Medals of Technology and Innovation recipients, 50 MacArthur Fellows,[12] 83 Marshall Scholars,[13] 41 astronauts,[14] 16 Chief Scientists of the US Air Force, and 1 foreign head of state have been affiliated with MIT. The institute also has a strong entrepreneurial culture and MIT alumni have founded or co-founded many notable companies.

Your comment makes absolutely no sense.
Mit's been the first on world universities' ranking for about 7 years now and you put it at 9???
Personally I'd also say that all of the public ivies are a pretty good way to attend an ivy league type school of sorts, but they're still all public schools. So if you live in a state with one of those public ivies, your chances of getting in go up if you apply and you have to pay less to go. They mentioned a few in this video but there's also other public ivies.

The 10 universities with the most top-ranked programs
Abigail Hess | @AbigailJHess 12:02 PM ET Wed, 7 March 2018
These are the top U.S. universities These are the top universities in the US
Every university has its own specific - and in some cases, surprising - strength. For instance, the University of Pittsburgh has the best philosophy program in the world. Colorado School of Mines offers the best engineering program. University of California, Davis is home to the number one veterinary sciences program in the world.
That's according to UK-based higher education analytics company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).
QS calculated statistics from hundreds of universities worldwide to see which institutions were the strongest in 48 different subjects, from accounting to veterinary science. They found that 10 institutions consistently landed in the top 10 places of these subject rankings.
Here are the 10 universities with the most top 10 subject rankings:

QS found that the University of Cambridge had the most top 10 programs with 37, but that Harvard University had the most number one programs in the world. Harvard had 14 number one programs - including in Accounting, Business and Medicine - and 34 top-10 programs.
American universities account for more than half of the list, but according to QS's research, there was a slight decrease in the dominance of American universities in 2018.
"To be clear: It is going to be some time before the US's pre-eminence as a higher education research nation could reasonably be said to be in dispute," says Ben Sowter, Research Director at QS. "But our 2018 results indicate that it is being relentlessly diminished by increasingly competitive research programs in nations around the world."
"In previous years, we have seen 'second-tier' U.S. institutions find themselves beleaguered by ranking regressions," explained Sowter. "However, the performances of top institutions such as Cornell, UCLA and Yale - especially the latter, whose top-10 tally is now matched by the National University of Singapore - suggest that very few institutions are insulated from the inexorable worldwide improvement we are observing."

I wish someone would explain to students (and parents, and the world) the IVY League is a SPORTS LEAGUE!! Not an academic league. it just so happens to be an extremely old sports league so the schools that are part of the 'ivy league' are really old schools.

Randall Stephenson, former CEO of AT&T is graduate from University of Central Oklahoma which is ranked 68th amongst all colleges in the Southern states. The list is endless.

All good, none better than the other, and none are "if I can just get in there, my life will be set!". That is a really unfortunate mindset that seems to have originated in parents of the 1970s that seems to be pervasive and intractable.
Go wherever you want, find your passion, and work toward it.
The cream will always, over a few years, rise to the top, even for a person who starts at community college, then transfers into Big State U.
MIT is #1 in my heart
Duke? Come on, maybe the Duke of 20/30 years ago. Kids go to Duke when they can't get into Vanderbilt or Wake Forest. Or they are top flight jocks.
A lot of people rank Duke highly because of the gothic architecture, cathedral, etc. It was founded only in 1924 and built to look like an old (Ivy League) school.
ur gonna put public schools on there like berkeley and umich and not put ucla? ucla is now number one public school
actually its not, that publishment made an error in its study and quickly announced that berkeley is still the #1 public school in the world.
wrong. US News & World Report just ranked it Number 1!
Nah Cal's much better ...
No it isn't. Go to QS World University Rankings 2019 and see the authoritative list made by the experts.
@@iReversaLHD Michigan is better than Berkeley from an overall standpoint. Judas priest, UCB doesn't even have a medical school and is barely financially solvent!
Corrections:
1. Caltech is smaller than Williams. Each class is around 230 students.
2. Caltech also has the first two quarters all pass-fail
where's tufts?
I’ve been invited to graduate school admissions events at two of the schools on this list.
I’m not upset that Amherst isn’t on this list, I’m upset that Williams made the list while Amherst didn’t.
There rest all Universities. Frankly, this is not the list of either Williams or Amherst.
Good list, hard to argue with it. I would not classify the Ivy League as the top eight universities in the country. But if you were to create a list of the top 20 universities, all eight would certainly appear on the list. So these schools you mention, particularly the private schools, would all be academic peers of the Ivy League schools. If you were creating a top 20 list, I would include the eight Ivies, these ten, and then add Rice University, and then take one of the University of Notre Dame, Georgetown, or UCLA.
Incidentally, many people think of the Ivy League as an academic affiliation. But it is actually an NCAA athletic league, like the SEC or Big Ten, except that it does not allow for athletic scholarships and it competes at the division 1 FCS level. It is just an athletic league that happens to be made up of eight very elite universities.
so many mistakes in this video...... john hopkins no longer has covered grades.... duke does not have a lower acceptance rate that MIT
Duke has a 6.4 %admission rate. MIT has a 6.7 %. The ones on google are outdated
Duke is actually very underrated it’s at least a top 7 school
Actually, you're comparing Duke's RA acceptance rate with MIT's overall acceptance rate. Duke's overall acceptance rate was 8.3%. That being said, Duke is still an amazing school.
Best colleges, not lowest acceptance rates
This is typical high school mindset........ Acceptance rates have nothing to do with the greatness of a college!
Honestly extremely shocked WashU in St. Louis was not on this list.
