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

Seriously, you’re stupid if you don’t understand the rational.

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

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

If they are 1 of the 38% getting disability accommodations at Stanford they won't be recruited for these jobs. Companies do not give employees extra time.

FAANGs are loaded with ADHD and kids on the spectrum. Both have unique advantages and do well in the culture.

Relevant subsidiaries means they are including Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School when assessing Harvard. So it favors schools with strong graduate programs. If no other subsidiaries are listed, there were no leaders outside of the core undergraduate program.

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.

That is like a gold standard for astrology

Duke has Stephen Miller.
