2. Cornell University
3. University of Rochester/Hamilton College/Colgate University

Publics
1. SUNY Binghamton
2. SUNY Geneseo
3. SUNY Stony Brook

*If I was counting specialty schools, Julliard School and Cooper Union would be there.

Washington:

1. Whitman
2. UW
3. University of Puget Sound (Gonzaga? Evergreen State?)

This, with the obligatory concession that this sort of list is arbitrary and pointless. But fun. Or if nothing elsr, an effective time sink. Really, UW and Evergreen are so totally different it seems silly to even see them in the same discussion.

Missouri

1. Washington University in St. Louis
2. University of Missouri , St. Louis University
3. Truman State , University of Missouri - Kansas City (for the health sciences)

Technically that's 6, but with so few well known school I feel like they all deserve a mention.


As far as our neighboring state of Kansas goes, I'd say University of Kansas or Kansas State are the only options. Lol

New Hampshire only has one respected school: Dartmouth.
I suppose it's followed by University of New Hampshire and Saint Anslem. But no one respects those schools at all. Most joke about ending up there.
