110 West College, Princeton. NJ 08544 Princeton is the smallest of the Ivy League's Big Three, which means more attention from faculty and plenty of opportunity for rigorous independent work. Offers engineering but no business major. The affluent suburban location contrasts with urban New Haven and Cambridge. Residential college system modeled on Yale's provides a social alternative to long-standing eating clubs. Princeton became the model of American-style liberal arts college after John Witherspoon was lured from the University of Edinburgh to become president in 1768. Today, Princeton in its modest scale and its emphasis on under-graduates. Each student's Princeton experience begins with a week of orientation; 800 each year participate in Outdoor Action, a few days of wilderness activities immediately preceding orientation.

Room 3-108, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139 If you're a science genius, come to MIT to find out how little you really know. No other school makes such a massive assault on the ego. Technology is a given, but MIT also prides itself on leading programs in economics. political science, and architecture, with unmatched undergraduate research opportunities. Those who don't study 24/7 can let off steam via the surprisingly extensive athletic offerings or by enjoying MIT's prime location near downtown Boston. Founded in 1861, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology continues to attract the brightest minds from near and far. MIT teachers and students have discovered many of the technological innovations that we take for granted, from electromagnets and radar to the decoding of the human genome. The school is…

Stanford, CA 94305 - 3005 If you're looking for an Eastern counterpart to Stanford, think Duke with a touch of MIT mixed in. Stanford's big-time athletics, preprofessional feel, and laid-back atmosphere set it apart from Ivy League competitors. In contrast to the hurly-burly of Bay Area rival Berkeley, Stanford;s aura is upscale, spacious, and green. Bring your bike and a pair of sunglassses, and leave yout ego behind. The differences between Stanford and other institutions it competes against for the country's top high school seniors are evident everywhere, from the architecture to the curriculum. The school's mission-style buildings look outward to the world at large, rather than inward to ivy-covered. And unlike its Colonial-era predecessors, Stanford-founded in 1855 by Leland and Jane Stanford in memory of their son Leland Jr…

86 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 An acceptance here is the gold standard of American Educations. Gets periodic slings and arrows for not paying enough attention to undergraduate, some of which is carping from people who didn't get in. It takes moxie to keep your self-image under control in the midst of all those geniuses, but most Harvard students can do it. Harvard's state-of-the-art physical facilities are surpassed only by the unparalleled brilliance of its faculty. Under its "star" system, Harvard grants tenure only to scholars who have already made it-usually somewhere else-and then gives them free rein to research it. It seems like every time you turn around, a Harvard professor is winning a Nobel Prize or being interviewed on CNN or moving to Washington to hash out rational…

1200 East California Boulevard, Pasadena, CA 91125 If you're armed with a near perfect SAT score; a burning desire to study math, science, or engineering; and some independent research or published papers already under your belt, maybe you'll have a fighting chance of getting into and out of Caltech. Best experienced with grit, a propensity for pranks, and wide-ranging intellectual curiosity. The California Institute of Technology counts 38 Nobel Prize winners among its faculty and alumni, and students demanding courseload means plenty of opportunity to tap into the brilliance. Expectation are high; "The atmosphere promotes a love of science, learning, and discovery that is truly exhilarating,' says a biology major. No doubt about it-if you prefer particle physics to partying, Caltech is the place to be.     Website :…
