Top 10 for what? I think most people, myself included, don't consider Berkeley a top 10 university.

For example, US News ranks Berkeley as the 20th best university in the United States. The global scale you are referring to doesn't make sense at all and shouldn't be referenced. The US News global ranking system is a mess. In fact, I think all of the global ranking scales are seriously misleading. You can't seriously believe Berkeley to be better than Stanford, Cambridge, and Princeton.

 

I think its a similar argument to Berkeley. Cornell has prestige+very high academics. Whereas Dartmouth is more prestige but so-so academics. Cornell in my view is more of a complete package. But that's just my opinion. BTW, Cornell is an ivy and is private, not sure why people are saying its a public school.

people still care about this crap?
You mean that thing where people compile objective data and compare institutions based on that data using transparent criteria? Yeah people still care about that...

ltohang, I love how all these trolls ask pointless questions or demean you after you provide a perfectly legitimate link with information relevant to the industry and working world. Thank you for posting, helpful to see where things shake out on the rankings front.

But how exactly does one define "link?" I do not purport to be someone who has the authority to make such determinations as calling something "helpful" vs. not so helpful, what makes you any different? Why is the world the way it is? What am I?

I hate victims who respect their executioners

I don't see how this "objective" ranking is at all useful. As someone who goes to an Ivy (my 2 brothers go to a different Ivy), I seriously doubt there's a big difference in education between Brown/Columbia or Darmouth/Cornell.

 

Still interested by these rankings, but everything past harvard is decided by more political jockeying at this point than "facts". Don't know how anyone could justify Columbia or Chicago as better undergraduate institutions than Stanford.
