<p>From what I’ve gathered, Berkeley, Brown and Chicago are all excellent for math and applied math. They’re also peer schools in terms of academic prestige. however, they’re completely different and each one of them has its own different student “culture”. I’d say visit these universities and decide from there. Personally, I would choose Berkeley over Brown and Chicago purely because of the additional prestige it has outside the US. NorCal has also a much friendlier weather which is a huge factor for me.</p>

<p>I can’t comment about McGill but I’ve heard it’s fantastic school and is a huge name in Canada.</p>
