These global rankings are based on research output, not prestige or undergrad quality. USnews college rankings are the ones people actually care about 

 

Clearly just a random list lol. Surprised nobody said anything about the University of Washington being 5th while Princeton is 12th lmao

 

God you UMich kids are insufferable. Terrible list as is but if you look at the criteria it’s literally all research based (publications, citations, etc). Y’all aren’t higher than Princeton

  3. Yale
  4. Stanford
  5. Princeton
  6. Caltech
  7. Columbia
  8. UPenn
  9. Dartmouth
  10. Cornell
  11. Johns Hopkins
  12. Northwestern
  13. UChicago
  14. Duke
  15. Brown
  16. WashU
  17. Notre Dame
  18. Emory
  19. NYU
  20. Michigan

I think this is pretty fair and there's definitely a little room for disagreement, but overall every college belongs here, and I don't think any school is more than 2-3 spots from where someone else would put it.
