That's not very far off from general prestige. Harvard is too low, but only UCSD, UW, and maybe CMU wouldn't be on the list if it were that instead. And flipping it around missing from that list are University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins, and maybe Northwestern. (Also Caltech but it's tiny.) For Phd programs there are some real surprises, but for undergraduates there's not much in the way of major specific strength differences. That's largely because the strength of an undergraduate program is mostly a function of the strength of the matriculants not faculty.
