<p>So do I UCBChem, but Sam Lee’s link was purely for Engineering. The one below is their overall ranking! Looks about right to me! hehe!</p>
<p>[Performance</a> Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities](<a href=“http://ranking.heeact.edu.tw/en-us/2008/Country/USA]Performance”>http://ranking.heeact.edu.tw/en-us/2008/Country/USA)</p>
<p>^Does anyone wonder if this just might not be the optimal ranking for an undergraduate education? Washington above Berkeley and Chicago? Something makes me a little skeptical :)</p>
<p>Alex, the overall ranking is too heavily weighted towards medical research…now how does that help the undergrads? ;)</p>
<p>I rather like the US based research production rankings</p>

<p>^Besides UCSF, that looks like a great ranking.;)</p>
<p>And I care about a CHINESE company’s opinion of AMERICAN schools why?</p>
<p>
You missed the point. The so-called “Huazhong ranking” is the 2004 USNWR ranking! Don’t you believe in the USNWR ranking?</p>
<p>The rankings are under “links” part of the university…</p>
<p>Home >> Links >> Overseas Universities >> Top 100 among American Universities </p>
<p>So it didnt claim that it did the ranking. after all, it is just links usnews into his page…
it is like you copy paste wikipedia into your blog…</p>
