If you’re treating your child’s college experience as essentially a trade school where they are there exclusively to train for a specific career in finance or software development or civil engineering, sure, feel free to take the WSJ rankings seriously. But if you have any interest in college being the transformative experience for your child that it often is for those who get the most from it, flagship public over private all day, every day.

False. I have had one graduate ivy and one more than half through a t10private. Both provide the bold in spades. None of their high school classmates from fancy dc private have had anywhere near the same extent as the bolded , at UCLA and michigan. Big classes, no ability to get into labs or school-year internships early, no pay for said opportunities for the few who get them, too many competing to curry favor with the same professors in large first yr classes.

This has already been debated many times. Privates and Ivy don’t guarantee small class size. Example- Cornell Intro to Psych has 800 students typically.

This is a world ranking of the most prestigious universities on the planet. Half of the top 25 at USNWR wouldn’t register much attention across the globe.

Tbh I'm surprised that Princeton made the top five on the world ranking haha. Usually they don't do well on international rankings for whatever reason even though they dominate USNWR.

This assertion is not in any way supported by facts.

Berkeley CS places less percentage or size wise to big tech that Brown and I'm sure most of the other elite privates. that is a fact based on actual career survey outcomes at both schools.

And same with placement to top grad schools. Which does not surprise me one bit.
