This is a selection, not a complete regional ranking. Positions are worldwide in QS 2026, including ties (=). Rank does not determine your admission probability or replace programme research. Inclusion does not imply a partnership with Classroom.
University comparison
100 universities: admission and budget
Compare SAT, TOEFL, tuition and funding routes. Check the currency, period, language and programme for every amount: one course fee does not apply to the whole university.
Confirm the information before applying.
Institutional rates, historical figures and country references are labelled separately. A national average is not your programme fee. Amounts are before funding; living costs, insurance, travel and extra fees are separate unless explicitly included.
TOEFL: the 1–6 scale applies to tests from 21 January 2026; the earlier scale is 0–120. Cutoffs are not automatically converted. Historical average SAT-equivalent scores are not admission minimums or predictions.
