Google Rankings

College Search & Selection
1

<p>So yesterday was my last day of work. I really have nothing better to do than this for the next week.</p>

<p>Here are the top colleges according to US News ranked by the number of results when searching Google. This took me about five minutes thanks to some good programs. I searched the whole name "Harvard University" instead of just harvard. I didn't use quotes. So Washington University probably got help from other sources, as well as Penn and Chicago.</p>

<p>U Chicago 349000000
Columbia 344000000
Stanford 278000000
Harvard 262000000
Upenn 236000000
Brown 231000000
MIT 194000000
Cornell 165000000
Princeton 137000000
Yale 117000000
Duke 105000000
Rice 99500000
WashU 79700000
Northwestern 77400000
Johns Hopkins 76000000
Georgetown 52600000
Vanderbilt 35700000
Emory 31700000
Dartmouth 31400000
Caltech 216000</p>

<p>And finally, adjusting for size:</p>

<p>U Chicago 81420.11834
Columbia 75247.9517
Rice 47865.77844
MIT 42828.53181

Hmm...
Results 1 - 10 of about 38,800,000 for caltech. (0.02 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 21,200,000 for "california institute of technology". (0.04 seconds) </p>

<p>So yeah. You made a mistake.</p>
