Strikingly, Stanford involves the main position in various residential school positioning measures, driving Slate to name Stanford in 2014 as "the Harvard of the 21st century," and The New York Times around the same time to infer that "Stanford University has turned into America's "it" school, by measures that Harvard once ruled." From surveys done by The Princeton Review in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, the most normally named "dream school" for understudies was Stanford; independently, guardians, as well, most every now and again named Stanford as their "fantasy school." The inaugural 2017 Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Rankings picked Stanford as the No. 1 school in the United States. 
Universally, the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) positioned Stanford second more often than not from 2003 to 2016.
