. @UWMadison was ranked 14th on the list of best schools in the world! The ranking focused on “academic prestige, scholarly excellence, and sheer intellectual horsepower.” https://thebestschools.org/rankings/best-universities-world-today/#best-100-universities-world-today … #OnWisconsin
University of Arizona (no standardized tests required) #57, yet Vanderbilt #96.
I suspect that “quality of student” was not a factor in this rating & ranking system.
Arizona over uva also comedy. I think UW is obviously elite and a legit to 25 school but some of that stuff is out of wack
Claims to be a rating of “academic prestige, scholarly excellence & sheer intellectual horsepower”. Mix with the “brightest faculty & students in the world”. Yet Caltech ranks #38.
Bestschools.org doesn’t sound too legit to me. Agree UW deserves its ranking but also agree Vandy and UVA should be ahead of U of AZ.
This is clearly a research ranking and UW-Madison is indeed a research powerhouse.
That doesn’t tell too all about the undergraduate experience, of course.
