[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is Stanford not ranked top 5?[/quote]

Because it’s 6.[/quote]

What makes you think Stanford should be in the top tier with Princeton, Harvard, or Yale? Look at their endowment.
School.         Enrollment.              Endowment
Princeton.       8,000.                     25 billion
Harvard.        20,000.                     39 billion
Yale.               13,000.                     29 billion
Stanford.        17,000.                    26 billion

Less money means less resources. By that, Stanford belongs in where it is.

Put that way, it's an interesting point. That said--most gen Y and Zs consider Stanford and Harvard #1 peers.[/quote]

But here's a counterpoint:  In annual fundraising, over the last 12 years, Stanford has been tops 9 and Harvard 3. Stanford professors and associate professors are the highest paid, and assistant professors are the second highest paid. [/quote]

That bit of higher pay is completely offset by the super high cost of living in silicon valley. That's the reason the pay at Stanford is higher, not because it attracts larger caliber of professors than the three top ivies.

Stanford faculty have produced more Nobel Prize winners than all but Harvard and Chicago.  Since 2000, more than any other school.  Stanford faculty can also get income from outside sources like consultancy.  [/quote]
