But once again, I don't know if MIT> HYP for those kind of things. I can't find undergrad's publications statistics (What % of undergrads end up getting a 1st/2nd author publication in a academic journal?), so I can't really compare to HYP.

As a comment, I'd look *most* at how willing the faculty are to work with undergraduates, less at raw statistics like this. Becaue if the faculty are willing, and you're willing and enthusiastic, there you go, you found your match, and good things will happen.
Oh, and I honestly think that it's great for the faculty of that caliber to encourage undergraduates. Maybe not in intro classes, but in some of the more advanced classes, there can actually be some pretty good insight they can bring in, even at a level accessible to you. My point was actually that if these faculty are going to be teaching you,
you have all the more chance to "befriend them". I'd ask the same question to someone who's seen both MIT and HYP and can offer an unbiased opinion.
I somehow don't believe math and physics faculty at most top schools would really respect the undergraduates that much.
