Comments on the ranking

Oh ya, so many visitors come to this blog searching for the ranking of physics graduate schools. Yes, the ranking here is similar to others. After all, ranking are basically a list of schools. I do have some comments on this ranking.

1. This is simply just a list of schools. Don't take the ranking so serious. I think the error of each school's rank can be large as 5.

2. This order biases towards private schools. I do not think public schools like UCs would give you any disadvantage after you finish your PhD.

3. Lower chance for international students for public schools may have been a big problem. But who knows if any of them get some extra fundings.

Also feel free to leave comments and visit again to see what's updated. =)
