This was for something else, but I decided to share it here for whomever is interested, Merci.
US News' global ranking is much more reputation and peer review based then their domestic undergrad ranking, which adds an emphasis on class size, alumni giving and other peripheral criteria.
FYI The Overall Top 10 is as follows:
#1 Harvard University(USA)
#2 Massachusetts Institute of Technology(USA)
#3 Stanford University(USA)
#4 University of California-Berkeley(USA)
#5 Oxford University(UK)
#6 Columbia University(USA)
#7 California Institute of Technology(USA)
#8 University of Washington(USA)
#9 Cambridge University(UK)
#10 Johns Hopkins University(USA)
To be clear, for any school to make the top 100 in the world is very impressive, these are all respected institutions.
