<p>Trinity U in San Antonio would become Trinity College in CT.</p>
<p>Sokkermom, Even though it’s not the Northeast technically, maybe Maryland could be the cut off? That way we can include Johns Hopkins and UMD.</p>
<p>In some ways I think Stanford would be Georgetown - a powerhouse in both academics and athletics. But Stanford clearly thinks of itself as Harvard.</p>
<p>What would Rhodes College be? Emory? Furman?</p>
<p>St. Johns would be St. Johns.</p>
<p>Yes, you’re right Coureur.</p>
<p>Marlborough would be Wellesley.</p>
<p>This is fun, Carolyn, and very informative for someone like me who is not familiar with the schools in the west. How about Redlands and Reed?</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd would be Worcester Polytech Institute.</p>
<p>Rhodes is a bit Haverfordesque, maybe a bit of Amherst, not quite. Sort of a conservative, preppy Quakerish school with Greeks - they are BIG on community service. Big community service can get you big bucks, just as good grades can. They are a very happy bunch, too.</p>
<p>Trinity Univ = Colgate without skiing.</p>
<p>Funny, I always thought of Stanfordites as more fun loving, Stanford = Yale</p>
<p>Univ of Richmond = Bucknell, but with a definite business/leadership emphasis</p>
<p>Rhodes also = St. Olaf’s without the singing or the snow (very comparable) = Trinity in SA, but less emphasis on sports.</p>
<p>coureur, based on the hands-on coursework and undergrad-only, I think Harvey Mudd would be Olin Jr.</p>
<p>I’d agree with Stanford being/wanting-to-be Harvard: I’ve always thought of them in a single breath in many ways.</p>
<p>Berea would be Williams, only more difficult to get into.</p>
<p>Although Columbia is closest to UChicago, it really has no equivalent, UChicago would be UChicago midwest, east, or west. </p>
<p>An aside, UChicago almost moved to CA, I believe in the 1950’s, but perhaps earlier.</p>
<p>I put Stanford as Princeton vs. Yale or Harvard for three reasons. 1) Good science/biotech etc., less eccentric/liberal energy 2) Certain enjoyment of appearing slight more social and slightly less cerebral than said H and Y. 3) Suburban campuses.</p>
<p>Most UCB faculty would find working at Harvard more like a paid vacation. At UCB they have to scramble for research funding in order to attract great grad students and postdocs. I doubt they are out beating the bushes for money at Harvard.</p>
<p>Emory would be Tufts
Wash U would be Johns Hopkins
Rice would be UPenn
Northwestern would be Cornell
Carleton would be Williams or Bowdoin</p>
<p>In addition to UCSC: U of Oregon, U of Denver, and Montana State could all qualify as being like U of Vermont</p>
<p>Jamimom, Redlands would probably be a Susquehanna, but with a dash of Bard thrown in due to their Johnston program.</p>
<p>Willamette in Oregon would be Drew U.</p>
<p>University of Puget Sound would be Quinnipiac.</p>
<p>Loyola Marymount would be Loyola of Maryland (Sorry, couldn’t resist that one) or Fordham.</p>
<p>Chapman U would be Ithaca College.</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd would be a smaller Johns Hopkins or Carnegie Mellon. </p>
<p>Pepperdine would probably be Gordon College.</p>
<p>Claremont Mckenna would be Georgetown.</p>
<p>I think who ever said Reed would be Swarthmore probably go it right.</p>
<p>And, if U of Chicago had moved to California back in the 50’s, it would probably be all of the Claremont Colleges rolled into one. :)</p>
<p>I was going with Reed is Wesleyan.</p>
<p>Sorry, Curmudge–Wesleyan is already Oberlin and Grinnell; it’ll collapse under the wait of one more school. :)</p>
<p>Notre Dame would be Dartmouth
USC would be Boston College
Stanford would be Harvard</p>
