Chances of entering a "prestigious" university are very slim. What are the best non-Ivy league, non-MIT, non-Caltech schools for math and physics? curriculum must be comparable to those schools

Just to be clear: the school you attend as an undergrad can have some effect on grad school admissions. Coming from a prestigious university can give a boost to an otherwise mediocre candidate, and likewise going to a... well, "unprestigious" (if there is such a thing) university can cause admissions committees to raise some questions. But don't think that your chances of admission to grad school can be seriously crippled just because of which undergrad school you attended, as long as you're well qualified.lolgarithms said:ok, thanks. does the school i attended as an undergrad affect my grad school admission?

Some examples of top non-Ivy League schools for math and physics include Caltech, MIT, Stanford, University of Chicago, and Duke University.
While Ivy League schools are known for their prestigious reputation and resources, many non-Ivy League schools also offer rigorous and top-notch math and physics programs with dedicated faculty and advanced research opportunities.
Attending a non-Ivy League school for math and physics can have its advantages, such as smaller class sizes, more personalized attention from professors, and potentially lower tuition costs.
Absolutely! Your success in the field of math or physics will depend more on your dedication, hard work, and passion for the subject rather than the name of the school you attended.
Researching and comparing the curriculum, research opportunities, faculty, and resources of different non-Ivy League schools can help you find the best fit for your academic and career goals in math and physics.
