<p>World's</a> Best Universities: Top 400 - US News and World Report</p>
<p>How can U of Chicago beat Princeton?</p>
<p>It’s for grad school. Also, the ranking gets its source from another ranking published in the UK, so British schools rank abnormally high.</p>
<p>Chicago is a better grad school than Princeton is. But also, Chicago students are apparently seen as better workers than their Princeton counterparts, at least according to employers, who give Chicago a 99 and Princeton a 96 rating.</p>
<p>
Who does? The Universal Association of “Employers” in Every Field?</p>
<p>Yes. It includes a lot of employers outside of high finance, hedge funds, PE shops, management consulting firms, white shoe law firms, etc. If I’m not mistaken, schools like Cornell, Berkeley, and Michigan. got rated much higher than Brown, Dartmouth, and Penn. I could be wrong here.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Seriously, though, it’s not really a surprise that Chicago students are seen as better workers than Princeton students. Especially since this ranking inevitably includes the performance of graduates of Booth, who are regarded extremely highly.</p>
<p>I don’t thnk that’s USNews’ ranking. That looks like the ranking compiled by THE-QS, a British publication.</p>
<p>RML: Exactly; it is. USNWR stole it and claimed it as its own. Typical US News behavior. :)</p>
<p>I pay a lot of attention to USNEWS but their world ranking has the least of my interest as it is all wrong, simply look at schools ranked within their top 20 for 2009.</p>
<p>As long as The University of Iowa is no where to be seen, it seems accurate to me. Seriously Coolbrezze. Michigan BLOWS away Iowa. Get over it already!</p>
<p>Actually I did find Iowa. Number 225 on page 5. That’s pretty respectable.</p>
<p>
Lol over what? I do not care for the University of Michigan or it’s where abouts on ranking but speaking of the school yes it is ridiculous to think that University of Michigan is a top 100 (etc…) school in the world. Iowa is a better school than University of Michigan and I have no doubts. </p>
<p>USNEWS world rankings should be revised.</p>
<p>I have no doubts that Michigan is better than Iowa. You know why Coolbrezze? Michigan rejected you and Iowa didn’t.</p>
<p>“Iowa is a better school than (The) University of Michigan and I have no doubts.”</p>
<p>Positive proof that I am right. Btw, how are the remedial English classes coming along? You are taking them as recommended, correct?</p>
<p>Coolbreeze, whether or not you think Iowa is a better or worse school than Michigan is absolutely up to you. But how could you think Michigan isn’t a good school? Even some of the biggest fans of a rival Big 10 school can acknowledge and/or respect Michigan as a fine school.</p>
<p>
That proves nothing at all, The University of Iowa is among the nations best.</p>
<p>In reply to OP original question USNEWS World Ranking is not as popular as the USNEWS National Ranking.</p>
<p>
Easy, and I know many people in the Big 10 ( or not) who does not see UMich among the nations great schools.</p>
<p>USNWR world rankings are not as popular as national because thet are taken off THE-QS, which IS the best known source for world rankings next to ARWU.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve never even heard of the University of Iowa until today. Granted, it doesn’t come as a shock that there is one.</p>
<p>Take it easy, guys (that wasn’t at you, sentimentGX, but at Coolbrezze and rjkofnovi).</p>
<p>Although I didn’t expect to see Michigan in the top 20 worldwide Universities, Michigan has fantastic grad programs and I’m glad for it. I say this as the daughter of a Michigan (Ross School) alum, so maybe I’m slightly biased, but I’m happy to see Michigan getting respect. Ditto for CMU and Chicago, which also rank high.</p>
<p>What surprises me most, to be honest, is the fact that the Asian universities aren’t higher than some of the American universities. Not that I think they’re better; I just thought that from a pure statistics standpoint, they would win.</p>
<p>
Don’t feel bad about not hearing of a great school, I never heard of College of William and Mary until I was on cc and although not as great as Iowa it’s a good school.</p>
<p>“Easy, and I know many people in the Big 10 ( or not) who does not see UMich among the nations great schools.”</p>
<p>You will fail your first written exam at Iowa. Why didn’t you listen to me? :-(</p>
