It is a good list of schools. I have heard of all of the US schools. Dartmouth, Princeton and Columbia are all Ivy League. Cambridge (England) ranks with the Ivies. Temple and Vilanova are well known research schools in Philadelphia and the suburb of Vilanova. New York U. is well known.Tufts has a Grad School of Biomedical Sciences and Northeastern is a private research university and they are both in that university hotbed in Boston.
