None of it means a spit in terms of trading potential, anyway. Of no consequence at all. (University of Chicago alum) Do you think that anyone would care where you graduated from before they hit a bid or lift an offer?
The first 11 are all in my top 11. After that, I have no idea. My first two are 1) Princeton, then 2) Harvard, but then I am biased towards the extreme theoretical sciences. nitro
i dunno, but there seems to be some heavy favoritism to the UC schools, which i don't think are all that. top UC school in USNews rankings is UC Berkeley at 20. this chinese ranking system has the school at number 4. do these chinese guys know something we don't?
do these chinese guys know something we don't? No, they just like Calif. UC Santa Barbara is a party school, Berkley is losing it's physics dept. to just about anywhere because of crap facilities. This is an truly absurd list overall. Irvine is becoming a medical research powerhouse though. I'm a Stanford grad.
HOLY SHIT!!!! Rutgers is on the list - number 38. Unfuckingbelievalbe!!! When I was there I only thought they pretended they were a great university. And considering I only paid about $6000 for yearly tuition, what a great value.
Ok, I've come to my senses now. Rutgers ranked higher than Brown, NYU, and IIT. Impossible. But hopefully my next interviewer sees the list and takes it seriously.
Indicator Criteria Weight Nobel Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry, medicine and economics 20% HiCi Highly cited researchers in 21 broad subject categories 20% N&S Articles published in Nature and Science 20% SCI Articles in Science Citation Index-expanded and Social Science Citation Index 20% Performance per faculty Academic performance per faculty 20% Total 100% 60% of the score relates to how much drivel the facutly at the univeristy writes, and how much of it gets cited. As for the Nobel laureates: that clearly favors large universities with substantial research budgets. 20% The last criteria: have no clue what it means.
I always knew the University of Pittsburgh was better than Carneige Mellon. It finally took the Chinese to fully realize this.
