I think this is foreign, but it is the most ridiculous list of rankings ever. You could not even make a more comical list if you tried.

what is the most reliable ranking? Times ??
Either sort them by SAT scores or just look at the "Revealed Preference" rankings (google it).
Rutgers and the University of Florida are better than Princeton and Duke? Whoda thunk it.
id say businessweek mba rankings are pretty high on the laughable list.
Webometrics rankings are based on the number of research articles there are online by university. So, naturally the largest research universities will be closer to the top as they post more online. Maybe not for wall street, but for academics looking for well cited universities, this could be a good source.
Reminds me of this ranking:

Attached ranking is not quite as laughable as your obsession over the relative merits of school ranking systems - this is the same mentality that drives some to debate for hours and hours whether GS TMT really is more PRESTIGIOUS than MS M&A. These schools are all excellent perhaps it is news to you that HPY are not the only quality academic institutions in this country.
perhaps you could provide us with a ranking of rankings?
now that would be laughable
Any ranking that puts Cornell above brown is beyond ridiculous.
This is how I would rank the Ivy's: Harvard = Princeton > Yale >>>Columbia = UPenn > Dartmouth >> Cornell > Brown
^ This guy definitely goes to Rutgers.
Kyoto academy of pokemon trainers is not even ranked on here
Blasphemy

The ranking is meant to reflect the world's view of universities, not just American, and not just Financial industry's. People overseas, even people who never went to college, know of Harvard, Stanford, UT (I saw plenty of longhorn shirts abroad), Columbia, Cambridge, etc. Many other universities have international outreach programs and are marketed abroad pretty heavily. I'm kinda surprised not to see IIT on the first page, but maybe they are just not up on the other metrics.
LOL @ Purdue #20
lol Princeton @ #35... come on
UCB > Princeton, Duke, Wharton...wtf?
Why is NC state even on the list? Whats NC State?
Yale is #38 on that list.
Someone has spent a great deal of his life watching American Psycho.
IMO Ivy ranks are in this order:
Harvard = Princeton > Yale > Wharton >> Columbia > Rest of Penn = Brown > Dartmouth = Cornell
Add in other schools and Stanford slips in ahead of Wharton, and plenty of other schools ahead of Penn/Brown/Dartmouth/Cornell.
