Bicycle make a very good point, but when you are in the top ten of “studies the most” lists of most of those silly lists, one might tend to think it’s more applicable at some schools more so than others. Among certain schools, NESCAC most known to myself, it would be silly to think anyone would just skate through four years. Now, even in that crowd, some schools require more brain work than others. But I will agree with crewdad that among a few there are more similarities than differences and I don’t think those subtleties can be readily defined unless you’ve attended them. Surely a visit would give you an instant feel, and all those reviews and etc can give you some added insight, but it would be my opinion that many of these schools are like an apple orchard (vs apples to oranges). You may have your macintosh or red delicious, but there are several types that make a mighty fine apple pie. As to which one is the best? It is mostly a matter of personal preference and taste. How’s that for an analogy? :)
