Well what are the most important universities is a tough call, but here is a list of what I would say: Havard and any of the Ivy League schools would fall into this catagory and well as the BigTen and PacTen schools (which for those who don't know are not simply placed together because of athletics but also academic excellence as well). List of Ivy League schools can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League#Members List of BigTen schools: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ten#Members List of PacTen schools: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-10#Membership These lists aside there are a number of unversities of special note that don't make any of these conferences that are important. Not on these lists of special important include: Boston University California Polytechnical Institute Duke University George Washington University John Hopkins University Massachusetts Institute of Technology New York University William and Mary University University of Chicago University of Notre Dame These schools alone are not enough of the important universities in the United States - I would also suggest you look at the annual report by U.S. News and World Report of the best Universities in the United States which can be found using this link http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/rankindex_brief.php Good Luck!!!
