what was your point in mentioning MIT anyway?
a school that doesn't try to desperately be an english classic? MIT is to america what imperial college is to england, tbh. specialist, slightly different ethos and prospectus from everything else in its field. although... afaik berkeley is also good for sciences and abstract subjects? to be honest the attractive elements of the ivy league for international students are your masters schools, and that's only because of the brand-power they have in the states themselves. over here we have the London School of Economics or Oxbridge which are the equivalent 'finishing' colleges for the business-minded.
