The placement of some certain schools on here makes me scratch my head...Maryland does not belong amongst the ivy league schools. Cal Tech is literally the best engineering school in the US. The 50 selections are all fine, but I strongly disagree with their order.

As a Badger I am disappointed not to see UW-Madison as one of the schools.

This is just the rankings according to some random blog/website. Going to the website, their rankings are pretty much BS. An "ethnically diverse faculty" is more of a factor than average incoming GPA?

Being from Maryland, it's nice to see the Terps that highly ranked, but they don't deserve it over Berkeley or UNC, among public schools. I also noticed that the color scheme matched Maryland's school colors. Coincidence?

I really don't get this list. Obviously, you can't go wrong with any of these 50 great schools, but some of the placement is just baffling-- Cal Tech and Berkeley should both be higher (the latter WAY higher), for starters. Texas is another totally underrated school. Weird list.

@EmTeeZ: Despite my negativeness a fun quiz nonetheless.

Even as a student at Maryland, I still don't think we deserve to be that high.

Also, why are virtually all of these research universities, except Amherst and Swarthmore are liberal arts colleges, and Loyola, Fairfield, and Monmouth are master's universities?

I have never seen a list before that puts University of Chicago above Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. That's just plain wrong. What kind of list is this? And furthermore, to see my alma mater (Northwestern) behind University of Maryland is absolute heresy.

@lalalala: San Diego needs the UC in front of it for clarity, since there is a private University of San Diego.

While I'm glad to see my bachelors (Fairfield) and masters (Maryland) alma maters on the list, I didn't even think to guess Fairfield. D'oh! And way to go Terps in beating Duke and UNC, since it doesn't happen in bball very often!

Yeah this is literally just the opinion of one blog/website, and is no more credible than anyone else on the internet randomly making a list. There are tons of other sources for these types of lists, created by experienced people who do detailed research and study this stuff for a living. Try to find one of those rankings if you want to do a quiz like this.

What an odd mixture and an odd ordering! Lehigh above Berkeley and Virginia? Maryland above MIT and CalTech? Great state schools like Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue, and Colorado not even making the cut, yet lesser schools like Florida, Loyola, Fairfield, and Monmoth on the list? Amherst and Swarthmore, but no Williams, Smith, or Carlton? I just don't get it.

Color is way obnoxious. Also, can you give us the state where the school is located to make this easier?

Awful list, Amherst college in the top 10 but Williams not even listed? They are tied at #1 for liberal arts colleges on US News, probably the only reasonably credible ranking for colleges/universities. Maryland and Florida especially ridiculous.

maryland, loyola, temple, monmouth, and fairfield aren't that good by any means. bc should be lower, chicago shouldn't be number 1, notre dame, vanderbilt, emory, rice, michigan, ucla, carnegie mellon, virginia should be higher. basically really bad list, especially maryland? not that good of a school, not even that good a public school, rutgers is better

The credibility of the source has already been commented upon, but the site said that Northwestern is located in Chicago, Illinois. All undergraduate studies are in Evanston along with graduate Kellogg school of management, only Feinberg school of medicine and the law school are in the city.
