Mine isn't on there..
To the person above me..What made you go for the MA en route to the PhD? I thought I was the only one who did that.
I applied to the PHD but only got admitted to the MA. The factory churns out the MAs for $$. They even let the Brown kids in.

These rankings clearly have nothing to do with quality of undergraduate education.
im interested in seeing what the system was for ranking these universities. I am wondering if it is based primarily off of research, because i feel like there are much better schools than some of these but dont have the research capacity. also, i feel like this is heavily tilted in favor of US colleges.
Why MA over MS? My reasoning was that I just wanted to stay in school another year because of a girl, but then decided I actually wanted to stay in academia.

It's the Shanghai 2011 list of the top 101 schools in the world. Shanghai uses published research, prizes, awards, fame, notoriety, i.e. publically available information. Shanghai does not rely on magazine newstand sales, nor ads from Wall St firms. Research on secret weapon, energy, materials, aerospace, physics, etc. are not included. If it were teh rankings would zoom for every University of California campus, the five Imperial Japanese universities, the universities in Iran, and so forth.
I'm a statistician. They offer an MA in stats, not an MS.

Man, how have we fallen so far?

How can anyone tell you why they are 17 instead of 11, 34, 76, or any other rank without access to their data?
If you are asking why they are ranked so high it's probably because UCSF is one to the top ranked medical research universities in the country.

US Universities only on this list, but I think selectivity (admissions rates) may be a better gauge of undergraduate quality than the usual list based disproportionately and graduate research dollars.
