<p>ehhh rankings are pretty meaningless... especially when the 2006 SJTU rankings are pretty much identical:</p>

<p>I'm surprised UCSF was so low, everywhere I turn at my lab someone is discussing some new finding at UCSF. </p>

<p>As a disclaimer to all the high schoolers looking at that ranking, this ranking is, among many others, very useless in picking your colleges. Realize universities at the top of this list have amazing research and, by extension, amazing graduate programs. This doesn't necessarily mean that schools at the top are the most amazing schools, often many of these schools at the top suffer from a less undergraduate focused education. If you are searching for a more undergraduate-focused education, I wouldn't really concern yourself as much with a schools research output.</p>

<p>brown was ranked 71</p>

<p>This is based on graduate work mostly, I think.</p>
