Excellent advice!

Doesn't really matter for MD unless if interested in research or faculty positions.

@@fahdh yeah, MD it doesn’t really matter where you go. But just saying that paying full tuition for an MD at an Ivy League I wouldn’t argue against. But notice how I mentioned MD, JD, and MBA. Probably the only three graduate degrees with a positive ROI--depending on the school for JD and MBAs, not for MD as you may know.

what about math, econ or cs?? these software engineer, and quantitative analyst jobs pay really well.

Good advice. Ill add on to it by recommending going to a community college for your first two years and get rid of elective classes that will transfer over to a 4-year state institution that may have a partnership with the local community colleges that will all you to save money. If possible, pay as you go and avoid debt. Start your life quicker and debt free and realize in most cases, it doesn't matter what school you go to. Once you get that first job, experience will be the main factor looked upon moving forward in a career.

Because it's unfair. Education should be a social ladder, rather than an elite club. The best education should be given to people who deserve it, who need it,rather than people who can afford it.

@@Hexane-gm3jh and why would these incredibly experienced/qualified/in-demand professors work at a university that won’t pay them as much? It’s not an issue of what anyone deserves, its just unrealistic to assume something free will ever be as good as something being payed for. That’s not a moral statement, it’s just how the world works.

@@DeSanto127 yah most of them have need based admissions and affirmative action, meaning once you get in as a poor student, you are pretty much fully covered.

@@DeSanto127 If teachers just teach for money they aint teachers. PERIOD

@@pundlik9012 Anyone at the top of their field is always going to demand compensation for their skill and experience. You’re approaching this with a moralistic/idealistic attitude but what your saying is not how the world actually works in a practical sense. They are the best teachers in their respective fields and are paid accordingly, whether you agree with their morals or not.

We have the same joke about Apache Pilots in the Army 😉

Those people peak in undergrad

"When I was at Harvard, they taught us how to work 'when I was at Harvard' into every conversation."

Hahaha this is funny. But let’s agree it super hard to get there

he /she /they

This comment needs to be higher up. If your school only admits the wealthy and valedictorians/national merit scholars, then of course you're going to have great outcomes.

This is the whole problem with Caltech (where I attend). The school provides almost no support, but the students they admit are already really really smart (except for me lol), so of course they do well. The outcomes are a product of the exclusivity not the school itself. It’s telling that Forbes (which took this into account) ranked caltech 40th this year, the lowest ever

1. How do you measure 'student growth'? Height? Weight? Salary? Followers on Instagram? 2. "regardless of inputs"? Are you sure about that? So if you pour resources worth one million dollars to a student at one college and they have 'grown' same as another student at a different college where they received only ten thousand dollars worth of resources, both colleges have the same value?

Asian countries do what the US used to do...require rigorous entrance exams as the determining factor.

They definitely paid for the Ranking

@@saumya_42 JHU is a great institution. Nevertheless, working hard and making the right connections is way more important than just the name on someone's degree.

@@saumya_42how? Hopkins is consistently a top 10 school and I chose it over Columbia and brown. At least it doesn’t fudge numbers like Columbia did, that school lied about rankings and is now ranked lower as it should be

Brain like Berkeley

What's interesting though is they used video shots of the Berkeley campus and iconic structures like the Sather Gate!

They lost it since 2015

This is for Times Higher Education. Berkeley topped the Forbes list

@@jkjkhoyolula but why? If you look for example at Nobel Prizes UCB is 3rd, only below Harvard and Cambridge. You'd suggest that that's not a bad university in that case right?

It has no tuition that’s how it’s good value

@@brennenkellner5291 y is there no tuition?

how much they paid? $28.76

also Duke is no where in the top 5 its world ranking is like 50th or something

@@xilunjiang317 is a us ranking not a world one

Not true. UC Berkely gets more Nobel prizes and does more for its students than anyone on this list. This is jut a list of big endowments. Cal State San Jose takes students with 800 SAT's and places them in great silicon valley jobs and it does it for peanuts. Among business schools, it is the same way. Harvard only accepts people making $100 K per year. IESE turns people making $30 K into people making $100 K.

it seems that you're going off from your personal opinion. at least WSJ did some research.

@@roho8515 More than likely someone in charge of the rankings went to Duke

And Berkeley not even in top 30.

Don’t take rankings too seriously. They should only serve as a baseline and nothing more, rankings are extremely subjective and everyone’s list will always be different. If you want the actual rankings, do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

Not true.

I mean unless you’re writing a check worth 10s of millions of dollars, that’s not really true.

@@star831 exactly.

Ever heard of financial aid :p ?

Except when you go into his Wikipedia page and click the “early life and education” tab it listed there that he was valedictorian at his high school and he graduated from Stanford with highest honors. His professor at Stanford (David M. Kennedy) said Hawley stood out in a school "which is overstuffed with overachieving and very talented young people," and has described Hawley as "arguably the most gifted student I taught in 50 years."

So maybe before you go take a jab at someone who is clearly on whole another high level than you, take a look in a mirror.

Jared Kushner went to Harvard because of nepotism

@@supermodelwannabe Not nepotism but because his father pledged $1.2 million to Harvard. His school counselor said everyone was shocked, as he didn't have best grades, etc

There's too many rankings out there for these two to be concerned. I am not sure anyone sees WSJ ranking as the definitive ranking. Students still prefer the US news ranking.

@@Salmiyaguy1 Sounds like you might be affiliated with one of those two universities lol! It's okay. We still recognize you as part of good-ish institutions. Peace and blessings.

@@You-dh1du Columbia grad yes, but I was referring to feedback on college blogs such as College Confidential. students seem to reference USnews the most for their college application choices.

@@You-dh1du well to be fair, people going to top universities know that rankings of top universities can never be completely accurate. So you can’t actually take these rankings too seriously. Columbia and Princeton are still top schools for sure, whether or not the rankings reflect it, there’s stuff in these schools that are better compared to other schools that may not have been taken into consideration and that’s why they might be lower on the list. Nevertheless, they’re still one of the top schools.

@@Salmiyaguy1 You clicked on the vid. You're obviously curious about other rankings outside US News. Listen, all college rankings are arbitrary lol. Ivy league students tend to be so ranking-concerned, hence, my initial comment that Columbia and Princeton are crapping themselves rn to be ranked not top-5 for once.

Cause it’s been overrated for years. Idk why it’s number one in US News tbh. Brown, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Penn are all way better.

@@Borrister I don’t think that’s necessarily the case, but I also don’t think Princeton is #1 per say. I think that when u get to this point of the top 5-15 universities, they’re each the best/close to the best at some things and others are better at other things. For example, Princeton is better than Penn at engineering, but Penn is definitely better in business.

@@star831 maybe. But Princeton doesn’t pull the top engineering applicants. MIT does. Penn pulls the top business applicants.

@@Borrister cal tech may be tougher than MIT in STEM

If graduate school is a major factor in the rankings then it might make some sense for Princeton to be ranked lower, as their main focus is undergraduate. But MIT and Caltech are also highly ranked without having a Med school or Law school.

And what is environment?

Related anecdotes: Over the summer I worked at a factory at which a former NASA employee with a master's degree in math and "a year and a half towards a PhD," as he put it, became employed. He performed the same low-skilled tasks as I and most other employees. My best friend's girlfriend has a PhD in electrical engineering but hasn't been able to find work for the several years since she earned it.

This is true. What matters most is your social network. Who you know gets you a job not what you can do.

@@midlander8186 that might be because only morons get PhD's in engineering - does absolutely nothing for you and identifies you as a dilettante

Cal Tech ties with MIT for science and research programs. This is not a technical school that you are thinking of, by technical we are talking cutting edge technology.

?

if you don't get a full ride for your PhD and a generous stipend then you should not be doing a PhD - simple enough for you?

With thousands of alumni you can establish a pretty strong trend or average. Predetermined factors get filtered out in large samples

Anybody with a sane mind would tell you rankings are detrimental to education and don't reflect the real situation. How do you even make a difference between top universities, it makes no sense

Don’t take rankings too seriously.

Stocks are good crypto is better

stop it right here you silly little bots

Words 👍

Yes, but it's useless because when the criteria includes things like the salary of the people who have graduated then countries with higher salaries will go up the rankings even if their universities are awful. And the criteria can very very vague, like the environment. Zurich University has a nice view of the Alps and everywhere in Switzerland is clean no one will drop any rubbish, but does it really make sense that the environment is actually a major factor. These American universities should drop down the rankings with gun violence and other types of violence that is in the country. But that's not going to happen because the the ranking has to be bias in faviour of them.

Yes. Oxford University is currently top.

@@matthewbaynham6286 if things like salary were a major factor, then US colleges would dominate.

@@capitalb5889 that's a reason why US universities do so well.

@@matthewbaynham6286 - not in surveys that discount it. The US is a rich country and Ivy League degrees tend to attract a disproportionately higher salary, which is probably a result of status and connections rather than the quality of the university. Saying that, in the QS rankings, US universities get 5 of the top 10 and 9 of the top 20, so pretty good going. Edit: saying that, I haven't checked the QS criteria, so could have been spouting nonsense. Double edit: the QS rankings don't consider salary

Good points. An applicant should consider the best fit. People differ in their preferences for factors such as location, class size, available majors, extracurriculars, etc. If possible, visit various campuses and talk to current students. Above all, as stated above, don't stress. Learning should be and can be fun.

Oh, go ahead and say where you go. It wouldnt be arrogant or anything at this point. Also, what do you major in? Just curio

@@blackbaron2572 I don’t want to name them 😬 but I’m in medical school

Unfortunately, it will most likely all be for not (naught). You see, in the near future the world will be taken over and run by cats. We will find them to be surprisingly wise and benevolent dictators. Or if that doesn't happen there's always the Fermi paradox. Associated with famous Italian physicist Enrico Fermi. Well, not to bother you too much more but maybe you could say why you wanted to go to med school. I guess the main reason i ask is...well, just the curiosity if a psych major. Why ppl do what they di. What motivates them, etc. Anyhow, i bet it's cuz you saw Silence of the Lambs isnt it? That's what all doctors say. They decided to become doctors after watching the Silence of the Lambs

@@sonia_shah you have already given your identity away even if didn't intend to, by using your full name (I do too) and then saying you are in med. Public knows the schools you attended and where you are.

Bruh, USC is a meme. Not at the level of Ivy Leagues/Stanford/Caltech/Chicago/MIT, etc.

@@Borrister a meme? Lol you’re delusional. Rankings say otherwise. USC is one of the greatest colleges ever. Why else would so many celebrities and CEOs try to pay their way in for their child to attend USC? USC produces the 4th most billionaires in the world at 11. They are academically on par with the likes of Stanford, UC Berkeley and UCLA. ALL elite California colleges that are extremely difficult to get into with lower than a 17% acceptance rate. USC may not be Ivy league, but they certainly are more well-rounded overall. Doesn’t hurt that the sports programs are legendary as well.

@@meetseth3 Stop being such a USC fanboy. USC is a great school and right in line with top California schools Berkeley and UCLA. Stanford is a tier above. It’s great but not top 10 in the US. You’re being delusional if you think that.
