點評美加神級名校


呢篇文試著點評美加各大學。實為隨手所得，未加仔細研究同求証。文章里面有很多個人偏
見，皆因報考大學無數，多嘗試，有成功，也有失敗。希望給後學以此為引，升學路上少走
彎路。

美國大學一般以www.usnews.com排名为准。當然每科各大學都各自有長處。建議先去以上網站看
下。

何為美國神級名校？
美國有八間長青籐大學，間間有很長的歷史，排名一般在二十名以內，各有所長。由於時代
變遷，我把它們與其他大學一起比較，分三個大級別：神級，明星級，名校。


細分九級別：
一流綜合神級名校，
二流偏科神級名校，
明星級學校，
超值明星級學校（只一間），
一般名校，
一流公立名校，
二流公立名校，
香港人知道的名校，
不知名的特殊名校。



一流綜合神級名校 (排名按先后)
1）哈佛 Harvard - 商醫政強
2）耶魯 Yale - 心理人文
3）普林斯頓 Princeton - 傳統理學，如經濟（John Nash）, 物理（愛因斯坦）
4）哥倫比亞大學 Columbia - 新聞，人文學和金融界關係
5）史丹福 Stanford - 工商皆強


二流偏科神級名校（排名不分先后）
6）MIT - 偏工科
6）CIT - 偏工科
6）U Penn - 偏商科


明星級學校（排名不分先后）
10）U of Chicago - Econ, Finance in Future Trading Market
10）Duke University - Bio Tech
10）Northwestern University - MBA
10）Cornell University - Agriculture Engineering


超值明星級學校（只一間）
Rice University 「大米學校」只有大概八千幾人，學費最平，入學比哈佛更難。


一般名校
Carnegie Mellon University 工科好
Johns Hopkins University 醫科好
Dartmouth College 我只識曾子墨
Brown University 政治好
Washington U in St. Louis 生化好


一流公立名校（排名不分先后）
U of Virginia
U of California - Berkeley
U of Michigan - Ann Arbor
請注意后兩間學校是要指定校園(Campus)先好，其他校園就沒有甘勁。


二流公立名校（排名不分先后）
UCLA
UNC - Chapel Hill
Penn State - College Park


香港人知道的名校
New York University
Boston University
U of Southern California


不知名的特殊名校
Georgia Institute of Technology 超強工科研究院
University of Rochester 傳統機械工程，有可口可樂公司贊助
College of William and Mary 超老歷史，是美國四大歷史悠久學府之一。其他三間是哈
佛，耶魯，普林斯頓。
U of Illinois - Urbana-champaigne 傳統工科名校，土木力學工程超強


關於MBA
哈佛（不用說太多）
史丹福（不知說什麼）
U Penn（超強金融系）
西北大學（超強eMBA）
哥倫比亞大學（超強金融界關係）
紐約大學（超強金融界關係）
維真尼亞Darden（華府政界聯系）
康內爾（一年MBA課程）

哈佛同史丹福兩間都無報過名，或深入了解過。所以不用說太多，也不知說甚麼。兩間都是好學校。

I have the following sharing:

U Penn is the 4th oldest while College of William and Mary is the 3rd. It would appears that Princeton is not one of the 4th oldest colleges in the USA.


"Rice University 「大米學校」只有大概八千幾人，學費最平，入學比哈佛更難。"


The admission rate of Rice for 2013 is about 17% while the admission rate of Harvard is less than 7% for 2013.

---- Top 3 ----

1) UT – Business/Engineering/Medical schools are all top 3 in Canada. Acceptance high school average >90 for both business and engineering school. TOFEL >600.
2) McGill – the best medical school in Canada, has veterinary medicine program. It’s within top five engineering schools in Canada as well.
3) UBC – known as top 3 in Canada

---- Top 10 ----

University of Waterloo (UW) – it’s the MIT in Canada. Top engineering school. Very good co-op program starting in 3rd year. It will offer 4 year scholarship for ones with strong academic background and who can maintain good grades. Average >90 and TOFEL 600 will be more confident. If TOFEL < 600, it would require students to take one year ESL program.

Queen's – 1st rank MBA program in Canada. Top liberal art school. Only students > 85 average in high school and TOFEL 580 will apply. Average >90 and TOFEL 600 will be more confident.
McMaster – it is quite a well-known university amount Hong Kong students, it has a very good nuclear engineering program.

York – very good at space engineering

Western – it is known as the top business school in Canada, both undergrad and grad (2nd in MBA I think). Students with 85 average or above in their high school will apply.

---- others ----

Guelph – I remember this school has many undergrad majors. Its location is quite close to McMaster.

Ryerson - Canada's largest (not the best) undergraduate business school

Carleton – back in the old days, it was very good in undergrad architecture major, UT was the second

Windsor – will offer 4 year scholarship to ones that maintain good grades

Brock – This is what I heard when young, “you can talk, you can walk, you can go to brock.”

跟美國朋友以前傾開大學，他提及幾間私立在美國好出名，香港較少人知，可以一搏，但冇心裝載，忘記了，有一間在加卅，好似P字頭，分幾間學院。

Pomona College, Claremont College something like that.

These sounds like liberal art colleges with three year diploma instead of four year universities.

自己不熟美國大學，多謝提醒！
From wiki

Claremont Graduate University (CGU) is a private, all-graduate research universitylocated in Claremont, California, a city 35 miles (56 km) east of downtown Los Angeles. Founded in 1925, CGU is a member of the Claremont Colleges consortium which includes five undergraduate (Pomona College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College,Scripps College, Pitzer College) and two graduate (CGU and Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences) institutions of higher education. Adjoining and within walking distance of one another (refer to the map), design was based on that of Oxford University and Cambridge University.

CGU is the oldest all-graduate institution in the United States, with many notable alumni in different fields all over the world. The university is organized into nine separate schools; the School of Community & Global Health, formed in 2008, is the newest. Deborah Freund took office as University President in fall 2010.

History

Founded in 1925, CGU was the second of the Claremont Colleges to form, following Pomona College and preceding Scripps College. Claremont Graduate University is the oldest remaining all-graduate university in the United States. The school has undergone several name changes since its inception. After being called Claremont University College for thirty-seven years, in 1962 the school officially became known as Claremont Graduate School and University Center. Five years later, in 1967, the name was again changed to Claremont University Center, and in 1998 it acquired the name Claremont Graduate University.

The Claremont Colleges were designed to incorporate the Oxford Model of higher education. Instead of one large university composed of several separate schools, the Claremont Colleges are made up of different institutions designed around differing theories of pedagogy. CGU was founded upon the principle that graduate education is separate and distinct from undergraduate education. Students discover and cultivate their disciplines during undergraduate course work; at CGU students continue cultivation of their own disciplines, but are also expected to augment this with research that incorporates other disciplines as well. This is called "Transdisciplinarity", and is an essential component of Claremont Graduate University’s functioning theory of pedagogy.

The school is home to about 2,200 masters and PhD students, as well as approximately 200 full and part-time faculty members. TheCarnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has classified Claremont Graduate University as a CompDoc/NMedVet: Comprehensive doctoral (no medical/veterinary) with high research activity.[2] Its nine academic schools and one independent department award master's or/and doctoral degrees in 31 disciplines. Enrollment is limited and classes are small.

Pomona used to be a top 5 liberal art college in the US offering a 4-year degree, not 3-year diploma. Its degrees are highly regarded by the postgraduate colleges and employers. It is not easy to gain admission to Pomona.

Quality amongst the diff Claremont colleges are uneven but some are really good.  Think the toughest to get into is probably Harvey Mudd.

You know, I am not an expert. I just quote and unquote from a friend in CA.
Harvey Mudd is strong in Engineering and Science?

Yes, think mostly engineering.  Websites suggests 22% acceptance rate but I remembered it used to be quite a bit lower before.  Not sure what happened.

Since when are liberal arts colleges 3-year non-degree programs?
