| Depending what type of student you are, among the top tier schools I suggest MIT (I'm going there  ) and Caltech if you want something smaller.
Berkeley is great,too.
Texas A&M has a top math program without the selectiveness.
Georgia Tech also. | |

| are we talking applied math? Or theoretical math? Any tech school is going to be good. Sorry, I can't really be of much help | |

| NYU is supposed to have an excellent math department as well, and isn't quite as hard to get in to as MIT/Harvard/Princeton. | |

| Oh, good, another thread about math schools. Keep it coming.
Aside to Hikkifan: are you a fan of Utada Hikaru, the Japanese singer? Is that what your screen name means? | |

| The top five schools are MIT, Princeton, Berkley, UChicago, and Harvard, in no specific order. The admissions lady at MIT told me that, basically, you will get the same education in math no matter which of these 5 you go to - they're all the same level of prestige in the math world, and looking at grad school, etc. So pick whichever one fits your personality best.
For public schools, I know Wisconsin - Madison is in the top 10 and Minnesota - Twin Cities is ranked I think 14. If I can find my rankings sheet I'll confirm that, but I know that they're up there. | |
