OMG:
I never understand why Waterloo has been ranked as the best university in Canada, yet we are still nowhere near other universities like McGill or UBC in international rankings.

Because the international rankings are all about research and funding and stuff. Waterloo doesn't have a med school either, so we're screwed for international rankings.

Because Macleans is a shit magazine with UW in its pockets telling them to rank us higher.

This has been mentioned a ton on this site already.

Because UW is in the pocket of big corps, and Maclean's loves sucking the corporate dick.

Go look at the basis for the international rankings and use some basic critical thinking skills. It amazes me how stupid some of you are.

Because international rankings have everything to do with legacy, and nothing to do with reality.
Also Waterloo has no medical school so that means it's on par with tier 2 colleges in the States.

No medical school and no law school. I'm surprised the pharmacy and optometry programs don't count for more.

No law school, No medical school, no Business (MBA) school. 5 of the 6 faculties (Arts, Science, Math, Environment, AHS) would fall under Faculty of Arts and Science at U of T. Ugly campus. Not enough hot girls. I can go on.
