not surprised at all by these rankings. (with a few Wadafack???'s though)
Internationally, especially in Asia, Berkeley is a close 2nd behind Harvard.

As a Japanese citizen though, I gotta say that the rankings of Japanese colleges are quite off.
(Nagoya, Osaka, Tohoku do not belong in top 100, should be replace with Keio, Waseda and Tokyo Institute of Technology)

But through an asian’s eyes, some parts of these rankings feel like, how many Chinese/Japanese people know what this college/university is? So yes, it does make sense that some state schools (UW, UMN) are ranked above Brown.

Don’t put this ranking to shame, even though I feel that some parts of it are brutally off if it were of an Academic Ranking. This ranking I feel, is a decently accurate perception of employability(maybe?)/prestige of the schools in Asia (maybe Europe?). In other words, you see more people from the higher ranked schools employed in Asia

I swear when I went to a club in china and my friends told them I go to UCLA, the girls were on me like white on rice (no pun intended).

And yes, Japanese girls will love you if you say you are from Harvard.
