Global rankings are next to worthless. |

| Please stop. These are basically graduate school rankings. Aggregated graduate school rankings are absolutely meaningless: you do not apply to a “graduate school” but to a very specific field or department. Especially for American schools, individual department rankings are all over the place; it totally depends on the field. Stated differently, as undergrad rankings, these are wacky, and as graduate school rankings, they are even wackier. The “wackiest” comment can now be prospectively and universally applied to all further thread participants: a pox on you all. |

UC SF does not even have undergraduate programs. |

To add to what you said, It is a total wacky job to brag about undergraduate rankings. Because, an undergraduate institution consists of many departments/schools and each department/school has many different majors. The snowflake’s intended major may be deep down in gutters when it comes to true academic excellence while the undergraduate institution may be ranked numero uno! As an example, Harvard college is ranked number 1, where as it’s Computer science major is down in the pits! |

Clearly, this list is not a ranking of undergraduate schools. Read the methodology. This is not a ranking of undergrad schools. Is US News presenting this as a ranking of undergraduate schools or programs ? |

I "generally" agree with their rankings but this PP is correct. UCSF is considered one of the best medical schools but there's no undergrad programs there |

Not the poster to whom you are referring, but would like to note that any ranking based on research should include the University of Washington in Seattle and Johns Hopkins University near the very top of the list since both have billions of dollars per year in research funding. While JHU dominates all other players with respect to research dollars, in at least one year the University of Washington was the largest recipient of federal money for research. The University of Washington in Seattle almost always ranks among the top 5 US universities for research funding. |
