【哥大前面试官锐评原文】
Not necessarily the 2025 rankings specifically, but overall, since we know reputation makes up 45% of a school’s ranking, it’s curious to me that, for example, Yale and Princeton rank in the 20’s. I can’t imagine that these two schools lack in reputation so, upon taking a closer look, it seems they’re losing points in the international categories that together make up 15% of the rankings. As many of the other universities in the top 20 of the QS rankings have significantly higher international student ratios and international faculty ratios, it seems the global-focused approach that QS takes does shake up the rankings from what they might otherwise be. On top of that, in Yale’s case, its research score, measured by QS using citations per faculty, is 38.6 out of 100, which seems incredibly low given that Yale is classified as having “very high research activity” by the Association of American Universities. Perhaps Yale and other schools in similar situations might be better represented by a different proxy or a combination of proxies for research activity than citations per faculty.
Q3:对于2025年的QS世界排名还有别的看法吗?Any other comments about the 2025 QS rankings?
A:我认为有必要指出的是,虽然QS排名有在尝试尽量涵盖住更多影响学生体验和未来前景的多种因素,但要考虑到所有方面依旧是非常困难的。
例如,我觉得学校的整体环境也很重要,但这又是一个主观因素,而排名已经因为不够客观而受到批评。
我个人认为,更具挑战性的环境能够帮助学生在学业上实现更加快速的成长;与此同时,周围充满激情的同学,这样积极向上的环境能更好地实现个人成长。我认为从本质上来说,这样正能量的环境是决定了我们能否拥有高质量大学体验的重要因素之一。
【留学趋势】
从去年开始,越来越多的学生选择多国联申,希望能够拿到不同国家的优质大学offer,这个趋势在未来会持续发展,会越来越“卷”。相信很多同学会感觉到压力很大,我们建议同学们思考对自己来说,什么是最重要的?
比如,如果学生们未来的发展计划是回国进入前500强的公司,那么QS排名是非常重要的评判标准。当然也有学生会选择在国外进行工作和学习,那么QS排名并不是刚需。因为相较于排名,他们更看重实习以及别的软性技能。
不管是哪个国家的申请,最后都还是会回归到同学们本身对于未来的计划以及畅想。我们鼓励学生们更加关注自身发展,不要被排名所设定的“规则”所限定!
