3 Key Lessons to Avoid Missing Real Opportunities by Obsessing Over Rankings
1. Not all rankings measure the same things.
Many families focus on global rankings, but not all of them reflect teaching quality, employability, or student experience. Some universities shine in specific areas that don’t even appear in the “Top 100.”
2. System flexibility matters.
This is especially true for transfer students. Validating previous credits, receiving academic support, and having access to real internship opportunities can be far more valuable than just a position on a list.
3. The real value is in the details.
Location, partnerships with companies, internship options, or internal transfer opportunities… these are also forms of “prestige,” but the kind that actually impacts your future.
