UCLA or Imperial College London?

Right. I wonder which university you’d recommend if the schools were between Dartmouth and Duke.</p>

<p>One is an ivy, the other is some southern school </p>

<p>UCLA’s been in the 25-26 range for years. I’m not sure how that makes it ‘fringe.’

What in the world are you talking about? Dartmouth and Duke have equal reputations (top 10ish) in the United States and are more comparable to Imperial’s standing in the U.K. UCLA is not in the same league and would be more akin to a Leeds in the U.K.</p>

<p>I suggest you look up the definition of “fringe” as you will discover that UCLA is indeed a fringe top 25 school, which is not an insult or whatever you interpreted it to be.</p>
