Any univ that shows up high on USnews but is no where to be seen on QS or Times global uni rankings is automatically suspect….

That’s only 15%…but yes…this plus 5% for sustainability seems silly.

My kid is looking at where to go for her undergrad. How a university’s grad programs stack up internationally is entirely irrelevant to that.

Among US universities: ( methodology superior to USnews)
Crème de le crème: MIT , Harvard, Stanford,Caltech, Uchicago, UPenn, Cornell
Tier 1.5: UCB, Johns Hopkins,Yale, Princeton
Tier 2: Columbia, Northwestern, Umich,UCLA
Tier 3: Duke, CMU ( ex CS), nYU, Brown//
Understandably Dartmouth/Vanderbit/Washu ranks are too low to get recognition
The methodology is not superior to US News as QS rankings are focused on graduate schools and research citations, not on undergraduate schools.
But they are rankings of universities, not of undergrad programs.
A horse by any other name; they are rankings of graduate universities, but not of individual graduate departments. They are worthless.
Good thing QS has subject rankings too.
A university is more than its undergrad program. I’m not sure what else there is to say.
But it isn’t, especially for undergraduate education which is what DCUM discussions are typically focused on. And this is why there are probably 15-20 SLACs which are superior to any of these schools for undergraduate education outside of engineering and CS. I’m not sure what else there is to say.
“A university isn’t more than its undergrad program” is the type of neurotic and myopic take I expect from this place.
For parents of students interested in an undergraduate education, that’s a pretty accurate statement.

275. The rank has declined every year since peaking at 123 in 2012. Quite telling.
