<p>Oh, and lets use both the R-rankings instead of the S-Rankings (which you appear to have used) of the NRC, 2010. In fact, both components are considered of equal importance (for instance, see Cornell’s statement on the subject). The R-rankings seem to be slightly better (for instance, MIT is number 1 in linguistics, as it should be)</p>
<p>Subject: UChicago R | UPenn R
Classics: 20 | 1
Comparative Literature: 9 | 7
English: 8 | 8
History: 2 | 5
Art History: 3 | 5
Linguistics: 1 | 2
Music: 2 | 4
Philosophy: 3 | 20
Religion: 1 | 5</p>
<p>Its not even close, with Penn outranking Chicago in just Classics, and Literature, while they are pretty close in the Languages (haven’t included them here). The story is even worse if you include some of the social sciences</p>
