Among US universities: ( methodology superior to USnews)

Crème de le crème: MIT , Harvard, Stanford,Caltech, Uchicago, UPenn, Cornell

Tier 1.5: UCB, Johns Hopkins,Yale, Princeton

Tier 2: Columbia, Northwestern, Umich,UCLA

Tier 3: Duke, CMU ( ex CS), nYU, Brown//

Understandably Dartmouth/Vanderbit/Washu ranks are too low to get recognition

The methodology is not superior to US News as QS rankings are focused on graduate schools and research citations, not on undergraduate schools.

But they are rankings of universities, not of undergrad programs.

A horse by any other name; they are rankings of graduate universities, but not of individual graduate departments. They are worthless.

Good thing QS has subject rankings too.

A university is more than its undergrad program. I’m not sure what else there is to say.

275. The rank has declined every year since peaking at 123 in 2012. Quite telling.

But it isn’t, especially for undergraduate education which is what DCUM discussions are typically focused on. And this is why there are probably 15-20 SLACs which are superior to any of these schools for undergraduate education outside of engineering and CS. I’m not sure what else there is to say.

Princeton sinking since 2010 …. Oh the humanity!

UF > UVA . Suspected as much despite UVA enthusiasts who protest too much ….

“A university isn’t more than its undergrad program” is the type of neurotic and myopic take I expect from this place.

For parents of students interested in an undergraduate education, that’s a pretty accurate statement.

QS rankings are totally irrelevant by the fact that it considers "International Student Ratio" and "International Faculty Ratio" - god forbid US schools primarily focus on serving/hiring Americans

My kid is looking at where to go for her undergrad. How a university’s grad programs stack up internationally is entirely irrelevant to that.

That’s only 15%…but yes…this plus 5% for sustainability seems silly.

Any univ that shows up high on USnews but is no where to be seen on QS or Times global uni rankings is automatically suspect….

Tier 1: Yale
Tiers 2-5: Everyone else

DS school higher than mine. My school higher than my boss. Isn't that what everyone else is checking for
