McGill was recently ranked 12th in North America and 21st in the world, by the
Times Higher Education Supplement (login: mefier, password: metafilter - thanks, obviously, to the metafilter folks). It's nice to know I at least didn't choose a shithole to go to.
Newsweek's
global top 100 puts McGill at #42 and
Shanghai Jiao Tong University's rankings, which looks at Nobel Prizes and highly cited articles, puts us at #35.
But who believes top 100 ratings and rankings lists anyway?
