Great News Guise!
McMaster is the 65th best University in the world!

http://www.timeshighereducat ion.co...2/top-400.html

Last year we were 93 and this year we are 65! Thats a 28 spot jump in a year!
We beat Dartmouth (90) again which is an Ivy league school.

Thoughts? Comments?

McMaster is also ranked 4th best in Canada on the list behind, U of T, UBC, and McGill in that order.

Last year only 4 Canadian Universities made it to the list in top 100.
UT, UBC, McGill, McMaster

Now a total of 5 Canadian Universities are within the top 100 (albeit barely).
Go U of Alberta! They are ranked 100 loool.

We beat an Ivy league~! : wavespin:
Does that make us Ivy by default? (...'cause I'm too poor)

*celebrates*

I knew it. Our first year batch was awesome.

EDIT: Not that it makes any difference. >_> Next year...we overtake McGill. Now wouldn't that be a story to tell?

In the same ranking system that put McMaster as 65th, it is:
  • 121th in "Teaching (The Learning Environment)"
  • 62nd in "International Mix (Staff and Students)"
  • 16th in "Industry Income (Innovation)"
  • 87th in "Research (Volume, Income, and Reputation)"
  • 69th in "Citations (Research Influence)"
I don't get how we're "65th" in the world, AND "65th" in North America. It's not like there aren't any higher-ranked universities outside of North America. Just by taking a glance at the charts, there are at least 5 UK universities there.
