FORTUNATE 500 UNIVERSITY RANKINGS

ABOUT US

The Fortunate 500 University Rankings establishes its ratings according to a carefully calibrated system of variables that assess the core factors in rating any academic institution. Unlike most other inferior, data-based assessment systems, however, our hi-tech algorithms work with a completely randomized sample basis.  Our results aren’t biased by factors such as exam results, quality of teaching, or caliber of research.
 
Instead, our system is entirely random; it’s an unpredictable world, and so are we. The next Stephen Hawking or Marie Curie could be studying at the Boondocks University, and only a completely randomized measurement system will uncover them. As a result, our number one university may not be the most academically rigorous; it might not be the most highly respected institution; it might not be an actual university at all. It will, though, be the luckiest university to have been picked randomly out of our sampling of 2000 institutions. 

​

The rankings are published by Igor Chirikov, senior researcher at the Center for Studies in Higher Education at UC Berkeley. 

​

Fortunate 500 University Rankings has been listed as #2 of the ten smartest university rankings in the world by Ranking Watch.
