[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]
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![/quote]
