[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to be clear about this ranking. This--as best as I can understand--is a ranking of GRADUATE SCHOOLS, not undergraduate schools. A prime example is that the University of Washington at Seattle is ranked #6 and that UC-San Francisco, which has no undergraduate component,is ranked at #50 and formerly at #57.

Sure but graduate schools are important to an institution's global prestige. And I never said I was talking about undergrad, How do you rank undergrads on a global scale? [/quote]

In short, garbage in, garbage out. You do not know what you are doing.

+1. I don’t understand OP’s obsession with rankings. Every other day our time is wasted on these. The last one was so idiotic - it was only a list of colleges in order of number of students. Nothing more. The OP didn’t have the sophistication to understand that a listing of colleges in order of population had nothing to with “selectivity” as the OP tried to claim. And here, again, she fails to indicate these rankings include grad school. I’ve learned to skip over the rankings here but this one caught my eye because I have a kid at Oxford and Oxford isn’t on that list. If, indeed, one person is doing all of these rankings they need to find out if they have OCD[/quote]
