You could say exactly the same thing about USNWR.



Except that USNWR has been the gold standard in rankings since the 80s and no one gives a fig about other rankings except this person on DCUM who weirdly thinks every single one needs to beposted and discussed . Ask any college counselor.

Vanderbilt, Gatech, perform worse than I expected.

The ranking is based on "relevant subsidiaries". So it is unclear what happens if they dilute it with the rest of the school. For some schools, there are no relevant subsidiaries so I assume they consider the entire school.

Yes, adjusting for population size makes no sense. Otherwise, you might make the crazy conclusion that Switzerland is wealthier than India.

I'd think Penn State would be higher given it has the second highest # of CEOs (only behind Stanford).

It seems to me that real talent is elsewhere in 2026.


Investment banks, consulting firms, biotech, FAANG, startups. . .


It includes graduate schools as well, so BigLaw, Fortune 500, etc.
