| No, these rankings are just as good as US News. Just because US News ranks your college higher doesn't mean its a better system. US News also doesn't seem to take quality of education into consideration.
Look at the research contributions these universities have provided and you'll see why UCSF is ranked higher then Dartmouth.
Btw: This is also a pretty good indication of how famous these colleges are around the world. Berkeley for example is much more famous then people give it credit for in the USA. Its international fame is only surpassed by Harvard. Of course people complain that Berkeley has a bad undergrad experience but that isn't factored in. |
