<p>Enjoy!~ :)</p>
<p>What does the “A*” next to some colleges mean?</p>
<p>Are there any international college rankings determined solely from looking at the undergraduate education?</p>
<p>As far as I know, THES and QS split this year, so there’ll be separate rankings. THES’s is scheduled to arrive on Sept. 16th. The question is, then, which one will come out to be the more prestigious ranking system?</p>
<p>The QS Rankings are crazy volatile and in no way as respected or anticipated as the USNWR rankings for US universities. British universities were also ranked far too high and, being that 40% of the rankings was peer review, one would be forced to ponder which “peers” they surveyed. If the activity on this thread is any indicator, they shouldn’t be difficult to surpass. </p>
<p>The THE Rankings should be better. Their methodology appears solid and have had positive reception from critics.</p>

<p>And neither has the respect that the ARWU ranking has worldwide.</p>
<p>Whoooooooooooo Cambridge is number this year!!!</p>
<p>its great to see your alma mater school being ranked number one even though the THE QS is entirely unreliable.</p>
<p>Agree with barrons, THES and QS (British publications) are so obviously biased towards British schools. It’s laughable.</p>
<p>Michigan is up to 15. I respect it. ;-)</p>
<p>It’s hardly surprising people on CC don’t like QS or THES, that doesn’t make them any less accurate or reliable than any other rankings though.</p>
<p>The problem with Thes-QS is that they are not really explicit with their methodology and everything is hazy. Further all graduate rankings data should be premised on what could improve research. A significant part of the QS ranking fails to do so. There is no way in hell that Oxford or UCL can realistically be in the top 30 graduate schools if research output was the main criteria</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of the University of Cambridge. Where is it located?</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Have I misunderstood you sefago? Are you seriously saying Oxford and UCLs quality research output doesn’t warrant them places in the top 30? That is utter nonsense.</p>
<p>Whatever criteria a rankings table uses or doesn’t use, people on CC would still be unable to accept them. People have a habit of dismissing things that don’t conform to their own preconceptions, which unfortunately is that Americans colleges are best and anyone that says otherwise is wrong. Perhaps that’s unfair of me, but I think it’s true.</p>
