Chapter 9
Checking On The Ranking Of The University Synopsis What is the role of a university’s ranking on your decision making? Does the placement of a certain school against other schools mean a lot? Will it really reflect their overall standing? Check the ranking of your intended university and see if this is truly that important when you make your decision or not. Do you know that although you should not put 100% weighting on university rankings, still, they can be a great tool when making an important decision in life like choosing a university where you will be spending the next few years for your education?
Impressions Matter – Check the University Rankings University rankings happen to be most useful if you have plans to join one of the world’s best institutions, although you might want to remember that these also happen to be the most competitive. The rankings of universities by subject can be extremely helpful, assisting you to find the finest universities that suit your area of interest and at times, the ordering can be a bit different as compared to the general ranking. Aside from looking at the rankings themselves, you also need to get yourself familiar with the methodology used behind them. It will explain how each university is assessed and why one ranks higher than another. The personal criteria that you have might not necessarily be exactly similar with the ones used for the making of the ranking. For instance, you might consider international diversity or the university employer’s reputation to be a big factor. If there is a certain region in the world where you plan to study, you might also want to consult the regional rankings. There is no denying that these numbers can greatly influence your decision in choosing a university but more than these rankings, you should still take into account all the other factors mentioned in the previous chapters to come up with an educated decision.
