It takes a great amount of effort to prepare an undergraduate student for a PhD. School such as CalTech take a strong initiative to open up spots for undergraduate research to get where it is. Students must also have high GRE and other standardized test scores. Grad schools don’t just admit any students. Many students who want to go to grad school are turned down and not admitted to any institution each year.

This is one of the purest measures to use to determine the success of students and the quality of a university, not some arbitrary ranking by a magazine which just funnels this information around.

Also, the National Science Foundation is a much more revered and respected source for university quality than probably any magazine or college guide out there.
