[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, while Wake Forest seems to be ranked #28 on US News, its global rankings are atrocious, and in all other national rankings it looks to be in the 60 - 100 range. A decent school for sure, and I believe [b]US News is the most relevant ranking,[/b] but it does give some color and context.[/quote]

NO! US News is known to be a very flawed ranking system, because it relies too much on self-reporting, compared to other rankings that don't use self-reporting at all, or some that use it more sparingly and give more weight to other criteria. The issue is that Americans are used to it, and most don't even know other rankings exist.

The best ones are:
QS, or Quacquarelli Symonds  (British, published since 2004)
THE, or Times Higher Education (British, new methodology dating from 2010)
ARWU, or Academic Ranking of World Universities (Chinese, published since 2003, earliest of its kind for global rankings)
ARTU, or Aggregate Ranking of Top Universities (meta-ranking of the first three rankings)
CWUR, or Center for World University Rankings (United Arab Emirates)
