<p>Does anyone have the international equivalent of the USNWR rankings..... I think somehting like this appeared in the economist once, but I was wondering if it can be found anywhere online.</p>
<p>the times of london publised one. i cant find the url to it but heres a list of their top 20:
1. Harvard University
2. University of California, Berkeley
3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
4. California Institute of Technology
5. Oxford University
6. Cambridge University
7. Standford University
8. Yale University
9. Princeton University
10. ETH Zurich (Switzerland)
11. London School of Economics
12. Tokyo University
13. University of Chicago
14. Imperial Colledge London
15. University of Texas at Austin
16. Australian National University
17. Beijing University
18. National University of Singapore
19. Columbia University
20. University of California, San Francisco</p>
<p>heres a statistical top 200</p>
<p>That is an interesting list.</p>
<p>i think thisnis for grad school, which is good to look at.</p>
<p>any for undergrad?</p>
<p>University of Texas is better than Columbia?</p>
<p>well, it's kinda impossible to do world undergraduate rankings because everything's not standardized...</p>
<p>nbachris2788: For grad school, very possible. ,</p>
<p>I found the Chinese ranking (I can't remember which university sponsored it) to be much more accurate. They are far less outrageous than the Anglo-Eurocentric rankings published in the Times. Australia National University better than Columbia? Give me a break.</p>
<p>the list you'll are currently loooking at is the 2004 list. the 2005 list has duke at no.11 :D
cant find the link to the 2005 times list.</p>
<p>Yeah, and the fact that Duke shot up, like, 50 spots in one year lends so much credibility to the ranking system. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>well, i think the world's best undergrad univ has to be princeton, very objectively speaking (though i LOVE yale far more, n have applied ea there), the reason being well-rounded (its engineering being great, only stanford's being better....plz dont bring up berkeley n mit, they r not exactly liberal arts undergrad powerhouses) and its size, hence undergraduate focus (stanford and harvard lose here slightly although yale definitely doesnt). i maybe wrong as i am an international student and i only have <em>chinese-whispered</em> knowledge.....so take this with a pinch of salt.....
my feelings quantified are: (although obv. its meaningless crap, but just for the fun of it)
princeton 9.9 / 10
stanford 9.8 / 10
yale 9.7 / 10 (mmuahhh...i just wish i get in...plz god)
harvard 9.6 / 10
upenn 9.5 / 10
and then downhill..... but it HUGELY varies for individual to individual</p>
<p>i disagree with that list. There are so many good schools not listed, and that list should be changed around. Yale is in no way better than Princeton. And why is University of California San Francisco even there.</p>
