<p>^ you’re still using your research prestige bias. If done on research citations, it would actually look like this:</p>
<ol>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>Berkeley</li>
<li>UWashington</li>
<li>UCSD</li>
<li>USC</li>
<li>Caltech</li>
<li>Davis</li>
</ol>

<p>Caltech’s a great school, but it’s SMALL so there’s only so much research it’s research students can do. Caltech has 1k grad students; Stanford, UCLA, and Cal all have like 10k. clearly, all of those institutions are able to do more research in terms of quantity than caltech. As far as quality goes, that’s tbd.</p>
