That depends entirely on what you want to study. If you want to get a law degree, Cal Tech or MIT are bad choices, but if you want to be a top caliber engineer, they are excellent. Likewise, Harvard or Yale would be poor choices for engineering but excellent for law. Arbitrary lists of "top colleges" have nothing to do with who you are and what you want to study. Look into definitive lists to match your interests to the academic reputation and suitability of your best choices. One very intelligent and reputable source is linked below.

See the US News rankings for the most widely quoted list.

The universities routinely named as the top ten include Harvard, Princeton and Yale, Stanford, Duke, Dartmouth and UPenn, Columbia and UChicago with MIT and Caltech. Others that are often listed as very elite schools include Cornell, Brown, Washington University in St Louis, Johns Hopkins, Emory, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame and the great public Universities such as UC Berkeley, UVA, UNC, and Michigan.

There is a lot of debate as to whether the rankings mean anything at all, or if they are reliable as a general guide to "good schools" vs "mediocre" schools. There is no doubt that there are hundreds of schools in the US where you can get a very good education.
