No 31 for me. YEAH TAKE THAT BROWN FCUKING IVY LEAGUES MY ASS!!

95 :( -- used to be tied with NYU in US News and World report. I will blame it on being in a shitty city.

Colleges aren't on this list.

EAH TAKE THAT BROWN FCUKING IVY LEAGUES MY ASS!!

6 of 8 of the fucking Ivy League schools beat you, and you topped 7 of 8 by one point

Aren't these polls done by peer ranking by admins at various schools?

damn you sure showed her gabbneb

anyway, this is silly - there's no indication what sort of criteria are used

i was just trying to be nice, max, and avoid pointing out that brown and dartmouth suck

68th and applying for 20th.

i'm afraid that isn't especially illuminating, Que

lol gabb

it's actually not a terrible-looking list, but there are so many ways to evaluate a university as a whole - undergrad v grad, professional schools, sciences v non, etc. - and it doesn't appear that they evaluated more than overall impressions.

As if the U.S News list wasn't suspect enough, we now have this wonder.

I mean comparing universities across political, cultural, linguistic, pedalogical lines is kind of a hopeless/pointless endeavor.

Isn't London School of Economics supposed to be really good? I guess I should have asked that question more before I applied and got in and am just about to pay a deposit.

definitely make choices about your education based on this list

I'm writing to cancel my offer as we speak.

i guess i shoulda gone to Chicago. i coulda hung out with Obama.

top 103 US (includes nominal colleges)

#95 is #396 on the global list

35 US = not bad at all

Yeah, lists like these are dumb. I was accepted to five schools in the US top 60 (including one in the top 10), but I decided to go to a school half as big as the smallest school on the list (which I'm assuming is Smith), so I don't make the cut.

LOL U NOT MAKE THE CUT U DUMB

gabb if you think for a second that i really think ANU and university of melbourne are better than university of sydney youre crazy

ie i dont buy that list either

Seeing the amount of time that deans spend thinking about this stuff and not on improving grad and ugrad education was one of the most depressing things about academia.

i was rejected from all the schools on these lists that i applied to

i don't know anything about australian universities, sunny

i can't remember everywhere i applied. i got into at least 7 and was rejected by at least 4. i'm not sure whether i applied to anywhere below 22.

i got into at least one college not on the list, and think i maybe applied to at least one more but don't remember if i got in

awww jaymc. there is a top 500 list on that site too. maybe you'll find your college there.

the US list is bizarre.

the only American "liberal arts colleges" on the list are ones with graduate study programs. thus, Dartmouth and Smith (both of which also have historical reputations), but no Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Wellesley, etc. It's possible the Claremont colleges fell through the definitional cracks.

71 world]
25 us (undergrad)
49 us (grad)

It's OK, sunny. It's only #60 in the US News ranking of liberal arts colleges, anyway.

Suggest Ban Permalink

Isn't that part of the criteria for consideration for this list? (I looked at a lot of colleges without grad programs because of the higher quality of UG edu but decided on a big science school)

presumably

im just kidding, jaymc!!
