[CTcard]

Interesting list.  Has Princeton at #1, Michigan at #3, UCB at #4 and UCLA and Stanford tied for #5, with UC Irvine at #7 and UC Davis at #9, just ahead of Harvard at #10.  Five of the top 10 schools are in California.  Outside of the Top Ten, Caltech comes in at #19.

I don't really have time to do my usual, "but do you (or they) know what it is they are ranking" post. But, just a few quick notes.

Here is the page that gives the short-form version of how they ranked schools, more details follow towards the bottom of the page.

The short form comment is simply that anyone who cares about such a list should check whether, a) the things being rated are things one cares about - and in a reasonable proportion, b) whether any of the measures used actually measure the things they purport to, and c) whether the numbers used are reliable (personal peeve - the now widely used payscale.com list is massively not).
