[QUOTE="Choppy, post: 5480207, member: 127425"] What do you mean exactly by "way ahead?" What criteria were used in the ranking? What schools were ranked? Of the criteria used in the ranking process which criteria are important to you? The thing with rankings is that sometimes they can provide valuable, relevant information, but in other cases you may just as well have assigned a random number to a handful of schools. For example, the criteria used in the Maclean's rankings of Canadian universities include factors such as: student scholarships and bursaries, overall budget, and faculty grants. It's great if a school has lots of available scholarships, but from the point of view of a student what usually matters is whether or not the student actually gets one. There's no point in choosing to attend school A over school B because it generally offers 30% more scholarships if you don't get a scholarship at A. With respect to overall budget - this can be a good thing too, but again you have to look at the details and relevant factors to you. If most of the additional money goes into programs that are not relevant to you, or maintaining equal quality residences in a high cost-of-living area, or paying for sports that you have no interest in participating in. The list goes on, but hopefully you get the point. What matters is how YOU rank each school by the factors that are relevant and important to you. [/QUOTE]
