| As credible as THES rankings are not, I don't think convincing people that McGill is worse than UofT is going to happen easily.
As for THES, Ide definitely say Stanford and Cal should be higher than McGill, both should be top 10 imo, but UPenn being lower seems appropriate.
UPenn is great and all, but I think what makes Upenn so famous besides being in the Ivy League (although it is one of the schools in the league that people are least likely to know), is it's business program. And in terms of grad school, I think Business programs, although prestigious, carry nowhere near as much weight as PhD, Med, and Law programs.
An MBA from UPenn looks outstanding, but PhDs and Medical degrees seem to take most prestige for schools because generally they are the ones that are much more research oreinted, and thus more likely to contribute to whatever field the degree is in.
I think McGill is much more research heavy than UPenn, and essentially perhaps better in the sense the McGill is surely a top 20 university in terms of research, and whatnot |
