Northeastern is #220, just below Rice at #219. (There's a Northeastern University in China at #445.) I didn't see Bucknell -- though I stopped scrolling at #638.
For context, Dartmouth is tied for #326 with the University of Lagos.
Really Northeastern (220), Rice (219) and UVA (137)! Go Cavaliers!!!!! Wahoo!!!
I don’t trust the Northeastern ranking…school probably fudged its submitted stats.
You've got it completely backward. Northeastern is one of the most trustworthy schools.
They have been straightforward, open, and transparent, and never accused of cheating like many many other schools.
You should be suspicious of schools like Emory, UCBerkeley, Columbia, etc.

It's really weird there have been many schools flat out cheated and got caught.
These people never mention that, but pick on Northeastern every single time.
Maybe it's just one or two hardcore trolls having a really hard feeling about the school for some reason??
More because we can count on riling the Northeastern booster every time. It’s like they have DCUM alerts sent to them.
Even though Northeastern to this day employs all kinds of tricks to juice their rankings.
Yes, tactics such as having one of the best retention rates, great graduation rate, high quality student body, amazing outcomes, etc. etc.
Your kid at one of the cheater schools or something?
It has a good retention rate. The other three things are middling for a “top” university.
Depends on what you mean by "top", however
Outcome based on median earning is equal or better compared to many T25ish schools.

Most recent graduation rate is top 30 among national universities
https://www.collegeraptor.com/college-rankings/details/GraduationRate6Year
It's very under-ranked by the actually important relatively objective metrics.
Only 24% submitted SAT scores and 7% ACT scores on the most recent CDS. Lol. It might not be in the top 75 if they actually looked at scores for everyone.
Its 4 year graduation rate is not that impressive. They don’t report to USNWR (suspicious, especially given their history) but their own data would have them tied for 44th. Lots of fifth years. Have to be good with that or really want the co-op.
Those earnings are only for kids that received federal student aid. But still $11k less than a school like BC.

And meanwhile the University of Washington in Seattle comes in as the 8th best university in the world. I can see why schools like Rice and Dartmouth score low - they hardly have any graduate students, but are still universities. But I am mystified by these rankings none the less. It reads like a list composed by a monkey throwing darts.
Washington is highly ranked in many areas of research, especially statistics, data science, computer science. As someone in the biological statistics realm, it is only beaten by Harvard for accolades and research output. Nothing mystical about it.
But isn’t money the metric? A lot of local billionaires have funneled money into the school and its research departments—and those same billionaires lobby for federal research grants.
ICYMI: success breeds success.
But that metric is rather meaningless when it comes to your Larla’s degree and career options.
Is anyone claiming that the global rankings are for undergraduate student’s “degree and career options” though?
