MIT without a doubt.  Yes, I'm biased because I'm an alum, but I have friends at Stanford and Cal Tech who wish they were at MIT.  We're more diverse than Cal Tech (not just by race & culture, but a diversity of thought).  Honestly, for tech schools, Stanford isn't even in the running.  MIT vs. Cal Tech, MIT wins every time, including our stellar business program.

Any Ivy League School will be great. Undergrad at SMU or Yale and Grad at Harvard, Yale, or Columbia will give you the best in what you want.

Try US-Reports.com. Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Penn, Duke, Stanford, and so on. Just one opinion, but at least they have their reasons. \nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc/tier1/t1natudoc_brief.php

If you are a non-conformist, can study little and perform high (as you say), I would say Cornell would be the better school for you.  Perhaps Harvard is getting a bad rap, but it has developed the reputation of taking in students whose parents can (and do) buy their children's way through school.  Cornell, on the other hand, (seems to me) has a reputation of turning out students who earned their degrees more honestly - students who actually had the intelligence to be there in the first place and will have more to contribute to the world (at large) once they leave.  This, of course, may be my own delusion.  \n\nI have thought of Cornell as being a college that allows and encourages its students and professors to think freely.  Thinking freely is what creates inventions and solves (even world) problems.  Do students, who have been prepped since birth to go to a specific college, think for themselves, make good leaders, not push or pay their way through the world, care about "the little guy", not go into big business or big government for the sake of the big paycheck, have concern for the world as a whole and want to be a part of its survival? \n\nWhat type of person are you and what group do you want to be associated with?  Harvard's reputation might change; so might Cornell's.  Talk to as many people as you can who have gone to both schools - rich and poor, successful and not.\n\nYou should consider, too, the cities each college is in.  Will you be happy in the environments?  \n\nGood luck.  I know it is a tough decision.  (And, as someone else said, you can transfer...)

US News & World Report comes out with a Top Colleges issues every year. The link is above. It will give you the top colleges in many categories.\n\n______________________

Carnegie Mellon and MIT are among the best.\n\nOh yeah, Jibba Jabba is right with Cal Tech. Sorry, just my East Coast bias.

Check out this link for more information about Ivy League schools, a very select group of 8 schools that fall under this "umbrella." Brown, Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, UPenn, Cornell, Dartmouth are those eight schools. There are any number of colleges/universities who's educations are on par with -- or superior to -- these schools, but this group carries a particuar cache and expectation of excellence.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League
