And meanwhile the University of Washington in Seattle comes in as the 8th best university in the world. I can see why schools like Rice and Dartmouth score low - they hardly have any graduate students, but are still universities. But I am mystified by these rankings none the less. It reads like a list composed by a monkey throwing darts. [/quote]
Washington is highly ranked in many areas of research, especially statistics, data science, computer science. As someone in the biological statistics realm, it is only beaten by Harvard for accolades and research output. Nothing mystical about it. [/quote]

But isn’t money the metric? A lot of local billionaires have funneled money into the school and its research departments—and those same billionaires lobby for federal research grants.

ICYMI: success breeds success.

But that metric is rather meaningless when it comes to your Larla’s degree and career options. [/quote]
Is anyone claiming that the global rankings are for undergraduate student’s “degree and career options” though?[/quote]

No but on the other thread about this ranking there were people claiming that any ranking not solely focused on those types of things is useless.  :roll: [/quote]
