#14 in the world, top public university. This will surely increase the amount of Wal-Mart Wolverines.
Go Blue!

That is for undergrad only.
That is for undergrad only. The world ranking is for the entire university. MBA, JD, MD and Engin grad programs (among others) really boost us up there.
I still stand by college
I still stand by college rankings being dumb. I understand tiers, but number by number rankings are just designed to sell magazines and generate web traffic.
Edit: To me, a quality set of rankings would directly measure the university's desireability to prospective students and overall student satisfaction with their experience. These beat around the bush by ranking academic reputation and employer reputation, but there are basically two customer groups for universities--research beneficiaries and students. Without discussing those groups' satisfaction with a university, rankings aren't valid.

True story. As a high school
True story. As a high school Senior who had really good SAT scores and really bad grades I didn't get accepted at U of M initially (and to go to CMU and get the GPA in line) but i did get accepted at MSU.
On the same day I got my rejection letter from Michigan I got an academic scholarship offer from MSU. I would so love to have those two letters framed - side by side - today.

Special Teams means special times!
"Participant" Ribbon?
Remember having the Science Fair project that missed the mark and presented no significant findings, but yet, they wanted you to believe you had a future academically? That's what they just told MSU and OSU, it seems.

Wow
I am so excited. Walmart wolverines seem to be more engaged than many alumni. We don't need polarization here with stupid ass statements like that. Yes I did graduate in A2. so don't even start with the bull. All wolverine fans kick ass and make our team the very best in the world. I travel a lot to Brazil, and have been all over the world and there are wolverine fans everywhere! You guys all kick ass! Go mother f'n blue!

Notre Dame at #223!!
Could not be making this up. Under Academic Reputation score it has N/A. I thought ND would have much, much higher standards/recognition!
Because the QS ranking...
...puts heavy emphasis on research (which Notre Dame does not) and in general is incredibly flawed. "Ranking" schools is silly as a concept, but it becomes truly ridiculous when you see something like this.
ND comes in #9 on ROI for a degree; and then if you look at SAT scores, GPAs, etc. of the kids getting in there it is CLEARLY a better school than Ohio State or Michigan State. #200+ is just absurd and completely invalidates the "methodology."
This is by the same US News people not using the QS methodology: http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/page+2

lol wow. Emory is ranked after tOSU. These rankings don't count for anything.
To be honest
I had never even heard of Emory until I came to Michigan... but then again I was also not aware that some children spent every summer of their life at camp even after they reached the age of legal employment. #sonotsushi

These rankings are bogus
They rank MSU higher than Georgetown. And ND is like #201. OSU and MSU are higher than ND?

I dunno, they rent a building near Trafalgar square and fly a ND flag off it that can be seen from across the city. Galling, it is.

I'll take it
Even though number rankings are kind of dumb and tiers may be more useful, let's take it. Recruits should be glad to see this as well. I'd be selling this point hard to every high school student.
Point taken regarding research universities and grad programs. Looking at it this way, it is true that across the board Michigan does not have many peers among public and private institutions. Beating Cal and Northwestern says a lot.
Mr. Hart! That is the most intelligent thing you've said all day. You may take your seat.

US Snooze and World Report is heavily weighted toward private universities, althoufg their methodology seems to change from year to year.
I disagree with the notion
I disagree with the notion that the rankings are "arbitrary". Schools know what criteria are used in the rankings and thus know what areas of their admissions and research they need to step up in order to rank higher. Talking to admissions officers and deans at various schools, I assure you, they do pay attention to the rankings--mostly because they know how much prospective students pay attention to the rankings. Because schools do try to compete with other institutions for various reasons, they do this competing within the criteria of the rankings. Therefore, if schools are all competing with eachother, within the same realm of criteria, I think it is fair to justify the assertion that when one school is ranked markedly lower (there's not a difference between #20 and #25), such as ND in the 200's, its perfectly valid to call them an inferior academic institution, especially to a Michigan, who is ranked in the top 20.
