<p>@phuriku OK, so you’re not an English or philosophy major! LOL!</p>
<p>One thing I completely agree with you is that you can definitely construct a ranking to get whatever results you want. Trust me, I’ve seen enough rankings and know enough about these schools that you could make any look as good or bad as you wanted depending on what characteristics you emphasize. And the public eats it up. </p>
<p>But, yes, I’m glad U.S. News is getting more attention at this point.</p>
<p>But you know really UChicago does not do badly in these overall. All three world university rankings rank UChicago in the top 9 overall–and by the time you subtract out the British Universities, UChicago is usually in the top 4 or 5 in the U.S.</p>
