SAT/ACT Students Must Read!

The latest US News University rankings.

Interesting to note that UCLA has topped UC Berkley as the #1 public university. I'm sure tons of my students will set their sights on UCLA this coming year.

Princeton has done it again - number 1 for the eighth year running. Still, I don't think many people in the real world view them as being ahead of Harvard.

Williams and Amherst are still leading the pack with the Liberal Arts Colleges. Even though Taiwanese tend not to think very highly of a liberal arts education, it's actually the most suitable form of education for many, many students. In fact, if learning is your primary goal, then I would go so far as to say that nothing beats a liberal arts education.

Of course, if you are returning to Taiwan to seek work, then the major universities offer better brand name recognition. Taiwanese tend to have heard of the Ivies and UCs more than they've heard of Amherst and the other Liberal Arts Colleges, so if you can get into one of the top Universities, then it'll certainly be much more prestigious for you and your family. If you're staying in the US, then most people understand how good a liberal arts education is.
