I was under the impression that Case was pretty good - but nobody seems to have heard of it...

I've heard them all more or less, especially Univ of Chicago. Their economic institution is one of the best in the world, if not the best.

Curioussss

The UAA schools aren't really the same conceptually as the Ivy League schools, because the UAA really is a sports conference, and the Ivy League is, but is also...not... the Ivy League schools are all super good academically, whereas there is much more of a range within the UAA.

For instance, if for whatever reason you wanted to rank the UAA schools, this is what one might come up with:

-Chicago
-Carnegie Mellon
-Emory
-St Louis
-NYU
-Brandeis
-Rochester
-Case

For the Ivy League it's much harder to rank because they're all really strong (with Cornell being slightly less so, but still wonderful).

I have to disagree.

UAA Universities are generally all ranked in the top 50 in the US (not bad considering there are over 2,000 Universities and Colleges in America), and the relative ranking of each respective University depends highly on the area of study you're referring to.

For example, the UAA are ranked as follows with regard to Medical School:

(Adopted from http://www.studentdoc.com/med-ranks.php?ranktype=mix_rank&fetch_size=15&offset=0)

Washington University (#2 Nationally);
Emory University (#18 Nationally);
Case Western Reserve (#19 Nationally);
New York (#21 Nationally);
Rochester (#25 Nationally);
Chicago (#26 Nationally);

Carnegie Mellon and Brandeis don't have medical programs, but you get the point.

Case Western Reserve University;
The University of Rochester;
New York University;
The University of Chicago;
Carnegie Mellon University;
Emory University;
Washington University in St. Louis; and
Brandeis University

Thanks for your feedback

Rochester is a well known research university
NYU is very well known as well especially their business school
University of Chicago is very well known
Carnegie Mellon is very well known as well, Their business school is the 15th in world
and I'm not sure about all the others..Hope that helps
