Warning: do not use this ranking to decide which schools to apply to. 75% of the criteria weight appears to be based on absolute figures (total number of papers, total number of Turing Awards etc.). If you'd prefer a school where 4 out of 15 profs have Turing Awards to one with 5 out of 150, this is not the right ranking to be looking at.
- pmchiu 16y agoI totally agree. It's such a piss poor way to rank universities I can't believe they published it. The data isn't even really complete so there are a bunch of universities (like the University of Waterloo) in the 76-100 ranking that should be in the top 30 that aren't because they haven't bothered to do all of their homework.
