McGill holds on to top Canadian spot in world ranking

The QS World University Rankings process is one of the big enterprises for rating almost 1,500 universities across the globe, based on a wide range of criteria such as faculty-to-student ratio, citations per faculty, and other things. McGill ranked first in Canada (31st world-wide) a few positions ahead of the University of Toronto (which is great and where I got my PhD). The very top spots world-wide went to MIT, Cambridge and Stanford.

All such ranking schemes are tricky, which the relative importance of various factors being quite subjective. There are a lot of great schools in the world and even schools ranked below fifty are still fantastic, like CMU, or the The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE; 56th).
