The US News site gives a listing of what it considers to be the best colleges in the USA. There are some arguments about whether this list is fair, but generally it is pretty good.
Here's what you need to know about "best" colleges. In the USA there are eight universities that make up the Ivy League. Then there are about six or seven other very highly respected schools, and anoth ten or twenty schools ranked just below those. For instance: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Penn, Brown, Columbia, COrnell, Duke, Stanford, MIT, CalTech, Chicago, Washington University, Emory etc... these schools are all rather small. The total number of Freshmen who will enter these colleges is only about 20,000 all together total. In the USA alone there are 2,000,000 students who will enter college this year.
So, only 1% of American students will be entered in an elite school. That measn the competition for a seat in these schools is very tough. You need to have very, very good marks, SAT scores, and you need a lot of money. Only about half the kids in these schools have significant scholarships. The other 50% pay $40,000 or more per year.
That's your competition.
But beyond the top 10 or 15 schools there are many other very good schools. Check the US News list and look at the schools in the bottom of the top 100 list, or in the second tier. Many of those schools can give you an excellent education. And some of them have plenty of smart students -- only 20,000 can go to elite schools but there are WAY more than 20,000 smart students in the USA.....

well, the best colleges are usually the ivy league schools. MIT, Yale, and Johns Hopkins are probably the best medical schools in the country, but they are nearly impossible to get into. I suggest going to collegeboard.com
this site will give you a lot of information on almost any school.

Check out FreeSchoolHelp.com, it has a link that shows "The Best Colleges Rating", and then has links to all colleges out there, scholarship info, etc. Very Helpful. Good luck!
