<p>To Trix-D,</p>
<p>I don’t want to turn this thread into an argument between you and me. I know you are a Yalie. If my posts helped promoting Stanford, Stanford deserves it, because all my stats are solid facts, with official links. The US NEWS ranking for graduate is based on academic peer assessment (department deans and directors of graduate programs). They know the quality of each institution more than anybody on this thread, including you and me. If Yale doesn’t look so good in the stats and the rankings, it may suggest Yale is indeed lack of something. </p>
<p>To Metallica,</p>

<p>Stanford > Yale in all science majors, including math, physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and computer science. All Stanford’s science programs are top 3, while none of Yale’s programs are within top 5. The gap is big enough to say Stanford is significantly better, according to academic peers.</p>
<p>Stanford >> Yale in engineering. Almost nobody, except few Yalies like posterX, thinks otherwise. Stanford ranks #2. Yale ranks around #40. Stanford has 84 faculty members selected into the national academy of engineering, while Yale has only 6.</p>
<p>Stanford > Yale in business school. Stanford ranks #2. Yales is not in top 10.</p>
<p>Stanford > Yale in medical school. Stanford has more faculty members selected into the prestigious institute of medicine, more faculty members winning NIH pioneer award, even though Yale has a bigger medical school.</p>
<p>Stanford > Yale in social sciences and humanities. Stanford beats Yale in psycology, economics, political science, and sociology. Yale beats Stanford in English and history.</p>
<p>Yale > Stanford in law school. Yale is #1. Stanford is #3.</p>
<p>Stanford > Yale in school of education.</p>
<p>Yale > Stanford in arts.</p>
<p>Yale > Stanford in music.</p>
<p>Again, rankings are based on academic peers, who know better than anyone on this thread.</p>
