Cognitive Psychology Rankings

[liszt85]

Does any of you have access to current (US news?) rankings of Cognitive Psychology graduate programs in the US? If so, would you mind posting maybe the top 30-40 here? I never found a reliable/comprehensive ranking list when I was applying and I asked this year's applicants if they had and none of them had.

Best I've found is a list of 10: http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-psychology-schools/cognitive-psychology

Me too, and I don't study at a top 10. Was just curious to know the ranking of my graduate program.

Ditto. That seems like the only list around so far, and I'd love to get my hands on a more comprehensive version.

All we need is somebody with a US news rankings subscription!

Is the ranking really that essential? I know several very good researchers who are at less-than-amazing schools, as well as researchers at top institutions that don't really produce much. It's less about the school than who you work with and the experience you get working with them.

I'm already attending and the ranking is irrelevant now. I'm just curious about its ranking..not that I'm going to transfer schools or anything if I learn that my school is not in the top 20! I'm extremely happy with the work I'm doing with my adviser here.
