<p>Just out of curiosity, how is MIT better than UVa and UPenn for Political Science?</p>

<p>All the rest in your groupings sounds right though.</p>

<p>butchokoy, MIT has an excellent Political Science department. </p>

<p>Wabab, OSU has an excellent Political Science department, but #4 is a tad high. The LSE isn't the most reliable source for US rankings...anymore than a US institution would be at ranking Chinese or French universities.</p>

<p>Well, not that I'm an apologist for OSU or anything, or that I really even have strong feelings for it, but really, you do have to give credit where due. #4 is a tad high? Considering it ranks higher than many Ivies and other top tier schools (especially compared to your own ranking), your statement is kind of... ridiculous, and reveals a blatant bias. And while I'm no expert on the LSE, I'm also no expert on your credentials for evaluating the LSE. </p>

<p>I'm not trying to attack you, but I find your post quite arbitrary and so biased it might even be a troll post.</p>

<p>Yale, George Washington, Harvard, Georgetown, SUNY @Albany, Cornell</p>

<p>in that order</p>

<p>The University of Rochester currently has the top ranked graduate poli sci department in the nation.</p>

<p>Rocherster is excellent in PS, but the top spot belongs to Harvard.</p>
