<p>I mean not only is the list just bad, didn't everyone else put their contacts on when they saw UT-Austin ahead of Dartmouth?</p>
<p>Why is it surprising that UT is ahead of Dartmouth in a ranking based mainly on graduate programs? UT-Austin is a major research university with many good programs, and while Dartmouth is considered a research university, it severely lacks in quality grad programs. Of course, the exception is Tuck.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is barely a research university, its a LAC with a few grad programs and a couple of professional schools. A UT graduate degree in some areas is probably better than a Dartmouth graduate degree in those areas simply because a Dartmouth graduate program in that area doesn't exist. On the other hand, Dartmouth undergrad is one of the best in the world because so much is funneled towards undergrads. Dartmouth is essentially a super-LAC.</p>
<p>kk , UNC IS 50!!??</p>
