Top 100 Universities in USA – Ranking

If you search in google for the keyword University, you will find above top 100 universities – schools listed. Google used its search algorithm to rank the best universities in USA. There were few other universities (like 5), which I have not included in the above list. Don’t you think its interesting to see MIT is not in the list? Think about it.

Part 2 of this article Top 100 Universities in USA talks about various factors used by US News to Rank Universities and why that might not help you in selecting universities.

Now, you have seen Best Colleges in USA.

  2. Hello Sir,

    I am planning to pursue MBA from clarkson University its in Potsdam, NY, any reviews/feedback on it, should i pursue or not as the overall rank of the uni. is not so good.

  3. Dear sir,

    There is no point in looking at the rankings. People shld look at course work.If anyone is looking for good placements they have 2 kinds of university either University near industrial area or universities with good industrial partners. When you apply online to jobs after graduation mostly companies look at the course work grades and to the merit publications. Everything are dependent on coursework and efforts and interests. Efforts can be done after admission, 1st look at interest and university according to coursework.Dont go by trends of job. Form a strong network to get updates about vacancies. Then only ypou have better chance to win over so called recession.
