Man I didn't know Cal would be considered the second best college in the world :eek: Unless that isn't Cal then I feel stupid. Good to see 4 UCs in the top 30.

thats the dumbest fucking rank system ever.

harvard above mit? who are we kidding here...

and in what way is harvard 2x as good as yale and like 7x as good as northwestern?

i dont know anything about tokyo university but from what i do know about japan and their education system, its probably on the level with caltech

rankings like these aren't very useful usually. i can't understand why the fuck they put the uni i left after one year cause it sucked so much at number 58 - the one you mentioned seems to be extremely highly regarded everywhere though: in the chinese ranking (http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/ranking.htm) it comes in at number 4.

ok i just saw Ut's place on the list...
the people i know who are getting A's at UT could not hold a D- average at MIT.

Wow. I left #15 to go to a school not even on the list! woohoo

47 Heidelberg University Germany

oh i dont go here though

oh. i guess getting into berkeley is going to be tough.

damn I thought Pitt would be top 100, but it's not even on the list.

woooooo #117.

Sweet :) I'm going to McGill next year. I had no idea it was the best in Canada.

That's fucking stupid. There isn't any way Cal is #2 in the world.

if they called the schools by their proper names it would be a little more impressive. i mean, chicago university? what? speak english. why would you poll that much and then get the names wrong? it's okay, but lack of attention to detail pisses me off.

wow, 3 new zealand universities...

Well, the students and faculty here are all deeply in love with this school, so I guess it's not that farfetched.

2 out of 4 U's in Montreal are in the he world's 200 best ?

That's awesome.

If only they stayed in the province after graduating...

3 New Zealand universities in the worlds top 100, and University of Canterbury didn't make it? Fucked up.

I'm just bitter because I went to Canty. At least Lincoln isn't in there.

Yeah, number 72!!

Eh, I don't really give a shit anyway.

#43 - University of Manchester

RARRRRR!

Whooo I've applied for 5 uni's which are on there. Sweet sweet cleverness

i'm hoping to get into #44 or #48.

for you people in the uk: this rating (http://education.guardian.co.uk/universityguide2003/0,13330,956807,00.html) is much more useful than the one in this thread, since it has tables for each subject.

I left #21 for a university not on the list... And I got higher marks at McGill then I get at my current school...

Too bad McGill didn't offer my field of study.

162 La Sapienza University Italy 89 4 5 4 16 121.5

All six I've applied to are there, wehey.

Cornell keep sending me information, I'm thinking it was now a sign since I now know it's actually a university and not some front for child molestation or something. Still no idea where they have my address from.

I know its really good, but that is still surprisingl
I figured the University of Waterloo would be ranked higher than #143.
Didn't it just win best university in Canada ranking? I guess this system is different... but still...

LOL

BRITISH COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

I really am sort of confused though.

I mean....if "Iowa University" (random example, nothing against Iowa) is on there......then where the hell is Notre Dame? eh?

yeah that list is wack. pitt has has one of the best medical schools in the country.

US News puts ND at #18 and Pitt at #66 for national universities.

We were higher in another poll but oh well.

yay! i attend #15. i can't believe it's that high - i was looking for it in the 80s.

i spent 5 years at #36. i thought it was pretty average.

I think they got people to score their universities based on how well they compare with all the other universities they'd studied at!

i find out if i got into ucla and ucsb on the 15th and uc berkeley on the 31st. so far i've gotten into uci and uc santa cruz, and the former seems like it should be somewhere on the list, given how good it is on a national scale.
