Any thoughts on this list's credibility?
Any thoughts on this list's credibility?
Methodology:
1. Academic Reputation "Having provided their name, contact details, job title and the institution where they are based, respondents identify the countries, regions and faculty areas they have most familiarity with"....yeah, that matters
2. Employer Reputation: 'Employers are asked to identify up to 10 domestic and 30 international institutions they consider excellent for the recruitment of graduates. They are also asked to identify from which disciplines they prefer to recruit. After examining where these two questions intersect, we can infer a measure of excellence in a given discipline.".....well, given most dentists are recruited out of dental school, I'm sure that is really important...not to mention most dentists are self-employed and not recruited.
3. Research Citations: 'Due to the impracticality of reliably gathering faculty numbers broken down by discipline, for the purposes of the QS World University Rankings by Subject we measure citations per paper rather than per faculty member.' Great, your dental instructors are worried about writing papers and not worried about teaching....not sure why that is a good thing??
Meaningless......
Funny because USC is usually ranked pretty low and they put a little slip in their interview folder saying "don't trust rankings, none of them are credible." lol they're right that rankings are entirely subjective but it's just funny seeing one school boast about them and another trying to attack their credibilityUMich has this on their school site and I'll be proud to rep the #1 school in the nation for the next 4 years🙂
This list is obviously wrong. Baylor should be #1🙄Lol what is this bs?
NYU probably trumps those schools in name recognition because they have so many graduates lol. I would say you would get a better clinical experience at NYU. Research, basic sciences, and specializing the other 3 win though.According to this rating, NYU is better than UPenn, Columbia, and UCSF. Enough said

I guess you're right.. I also heard that training in aesthetics at NYU is second to none.
