"On any list of the top 50 universities on earth, the US will routinely take the top 40 or 45 slots."

Do you by any chance have a handy link to such a list, that was not compiled by Americans?

FWIW, 33/50 are in the US. The breakdown is 16/20, 33/50, 51/100, 78/200, 102/300. The US and UK systems are roughly of equal rankings, assuming I can simply scale by national population.

(That is, if they are the same, then I would expect the US to have more occurrences in the highest levels simply due to statistics.)

You should be able to get one that was made by the Brits, easily.

Yep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QS_World_University_Rankings#R...

In the top 50, 18 are US schools, 10 are in the UK, 11 are from other former British colonies (Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore, Australia).
