Actually, Bernanke and Krugman taught at Princeton.
Samuelson, and many other economists, come from MIT.
I just don't know what to believe in anymore! D:

Gogo Stanford!! :D also, your rankings seem to be how well the students of the university preform solely academically, which is a piece of the puzzle, but I don't know if that's the whole piece!
Yeah, I've wanted to use something like a value added analysis for judging schools. For example, a school which has median SATs in the 1800s and sends 2% of their pre-law students to Yale law is doing a much better job then a school with median SATs in the 2200s that has the same performance.
In this ranking, I used the SAT percentiles to measure a school's "input" and endowment to measure a school's "output" (after all, you have to be pretty rich to give your school billions of dollars).

Princeton > Chicago?
hmm

I'd suppose that Chicago is better for economics. And it does have a law school. But Princeton was at the forefront of all of the cutting edge math/physics research in the early 20th century.
Does Chicago have better international prestige than Princeton? It wouldn't count here since these rankings were generated using a formula that only takes freshman SAT scores and financial resources into account. By SAT scores Chicago is not in the top 10, but it's large endowment keeps it at #8.
