How to make a list of grad schools?

[QUOTE="Crass_Oscillator, post: 5951182, member: 596746"] All that matters is if there is an advisor at the school who is competent and does stuff you're interested in. The rankings are nonsense for graduate school, as universities all have different specialties. My undergraduate institution had a middling ranking, but was best in the world or top tier for several baroque subfields. If you were interested in those subfields, going there would be infinitely better than going to Harvard or MIT for the same subject, assuming those schools even had a professional working in it. Current school I'm at is not top 10, but none of the top 10 schools have faculty who work in my sub area, and my adviser is considered one of the best if not the best in this subject. I specifically came here to work with him. [/QUOTE]
