Interesting, that’s a very short list with a few notable absences.

Haven’t checked the rankings list but I wonder *which* specific ones they use, especially as some unis (Columbia for example) are starting to opt-out, decline to submit data.

Also the general controversies with the lists and allegations of falsified data.

Cool program though, I wonder what their reasoning is for offering it -doesn’t appear to be tied to any particular field or specific work requirement.
