I never trust “rankings” like this. How can CalTech be a better overall school than Stanford, or Yale, or even Oxford? Doesn’t seem plausible to me. Also, this study is untrustworthy because its partly based on “international reputation!” How can that be a judgmental factor for a school! I’m sure there are many great options (Deep Springs, for one) that hardly anyone has heard of yet are fabulous schools. And surely the US can’t account for 7 of the world’s top 10 universities, I find that hard to believe.
