You're welcome! However a caveat... There are several important factors that should go into the rankings and peer reputation is only one factor. Student selectivity and institutional resources matter for the entire quality of the school. Peer Reputation can also be gamer as well.

HYPSM comprise the top 5 for peer reputation.[/quote]

I don’t trust this peer review  … how do they decide who matters?  Unlike real life these lists barely move… I just don’t believe the same places each year have monopolies on top quality teaching and learning … [/quote]

Old fart peer ranking  conventions ?
Skulls and bones/ other secret societies ?

It just is not plausible that same institutions that mainly recruit from top 1%  and legacies continue to dominate educational excellence in reality (in perception obviously is possible). It is rigged somehow. Maybe we are so desperate for order in our chaotic world that we collectively buy into this mass delusion of static hierarchies … [/quote]

They need transparent quantifiable data to support these static “peer ranked” hierarchies - for starters academic relevance could be measured in numbers of citations in different fields …[/quote]
