Lord, that's embarrassing. Are they even *trying*?
Why can't dirty foreigners into universities?
They will not answer. They are rightly ashamed at being foreign.

Habha
Might be the best universities.
But they're mostly filled with halfwits.
Besides university rankings are bullshit

t. Cantab
according to fucking brit ranking, what a surprise
Very good economics school
why is harvard that superior? is it about fundings or what, do they only select 200iq people?
Ah yes, and I'm sure the Literally Who School of Economics outclasses Oxford. Quaint.
Well, american universities topped the list between 2011-2016, so that's hardly an excuse.
Matters to employers due to reputation, at least for undergrad, Quality of content has little to do with it.
surprised Imperial isn't higher
>2015
anyway these scores are based on research done and most places do it privately in America away from universities
University elitism is a self-perpetuating farce. Sure there are very good universities, good universities and not so great ones but beyond that it's irrelevant.
It also depends what field you want to study in and under which professors.
I have a lot of friends that went to these places and none of them were very impressive. Half of them were legacy anyway.
Do you think English being the lingua franca produces this effect?
I think I may be, as all papers from around the world have an English abstract, and if your research is good, you are often recommended to write the whole paper in English.
Or am I confusing cause and effect?
Like I said, it has nothing to do with expert teaching or content that isn't taught at other universities. There's a reason that top uni graduates generally tend to find jobs easier than unknown unis. Nothing to do with how "impressive" or great a university is, like you said. But employers do pay attention to the name of the university. Sometimes graduating off a top uni means that you went through a lot of shit and a grueling program which guarantees to an employer that you work well under pressure. Pressure that you might not have been subjected to in a non-top uni.
So yeah, like you said, university elitism is a farce when you get down to it, but not to employers.
