I'm hoping he won't forget UIUC :-/

  Amen. Most people forget that uiuc consistently has one of the top 5 engineering programs nationally (an honor it shares with the likes of MIT, Berkeley, and Stanford, and Cal-Tech). And I'd feel pretty confident claiming it's the best in the midwest, hands down. Yet, I can't count the number of people (in Cambridge) that have no idea what I'm talking about when I mention 'uiuc' or the 'university of illinois.' I think part of the problem is that besides a handful of great programs (like engineering and accounting), uiuc is rather easy to get into. I suppose this means that the average uiuc alum that you'll meet isn't likely to be as bright as the average stanford alum, even though our engineers stack up quite well.
