<p>What? Harvard dropped to No.6?
H was the No.1, always.</p>

<p>this is a ranking for research, not for overall quality. I too was under the impression that the GSD was #1</p>

<p>The rating criteria:</p>

<p>Princeton sure has improved since 2002.</p>

<p>I think you should examine what went into each rating. That may explain the difference. One rating was the result of an exhaustive study, the other was produced from a mailing.<br>
One study produced a list of top ten schools you would normally expect, the other produced a random listing of diverse schools (some with rather "easy" entrance requirements).</p>
