2022 College Rankings: Wealthy Private Universities Dominate, Again | WSJ

Teachers College Columbia University- Columbia University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology was ranked #1 this year (2024) in the category of graduate schools of education.

This institution was not a part of any controversy.

Johns Hopkins is about as hard core STEM research as it gets in the USA for undergraduates. Definitely not a school where you go to watch football games (maybe lacrosse) and definitely not a boozy tailgating fun time for non-serious students. It is for hard core serious nerds, some of whom are well rounded, but many of whom are just brilliant. Baltimore is not the loveliest place in the USA but the school rocks if you are seriously into state of the art research. It is not where fun goes to die (that would be the University of Chicago) but it is definitely not for those who are not career focused and not academically serious. If you consider reading Scientific American to be recreational periodical reading, then you will love Johns Hopkins.

The University of California system is one of the best in the U.S., it says so much about a person to be offered admission into it ... :P

According to the univ.; Harvard (except for a few privileged ones) requires high school GPA of >4.0(~73-75%), ranked no.1 out of 2,000 coll./univ. from 90 countries.

Brown is better than Princeton??
Northwestern is better than U Chicago??
Forbes rankings are much better....

Let's cut to the chase. Universities have become the quintessential bloated bureaucracy. If it had to sell a product for profit the institutions would melt like hot butter.

Oafs and social justice warriors need to stop saying that degrees from ultra-elite universities no longer matter or that the payoff isn’t worth the cost. The data indicates otherwise.

I hope my son will be accepted by the University of Florida, next Friday we'll find out!

Nice job! Keep continew.

What a dumb af ranking system.

These ranking are fixed and are not based on academics greatly. Ivy league means a sports conference and not academics. Some Ivy league schools are great some below average. For choosing a school talk to an expert in your subject of interest. Two schools can not be ranked they are too tiny yet have more Nobel Prizes than many of the top schools which are not larger but much larger than these. These are the super schools the Rockefeller (earlier Rockefeller Institute) University and Cal-tech. While Nobel Prizes are not without politics yet do give information., Both have produced huge amount of genuine Nobel Prizes more than all Ivy league schools except Harvard which is several hundred fold larger than Rockefeller.

What about James Madison-university I will be the. Best college 2022

Of course that's the outcome. The endowment at Harvard is over 50 billion. That's crazy. The rankings will never change much looking at the top 20 institutions.

Top school is still Oxford, of course.

Ain’t THAT THE TRUTH!! 👎🏻

What about Saint Leo University

What do guys think UVA’s ranking is?

I went to average universities and in the employment arena I have consistency dominated (in terms of performance outcomes) people educated from these so called prestigious universities. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
