> Dropbox’s founder and MIT Alum, Drew Houston, tried to lessen our emotional damage by creating a “United States Leaderboard” where we still held the #1 position
It's pretty funny how butthurt the MIT people are that the Singaporeans and Taiwanese managed to beat them. If you look at the leaderboard[0], Houston even put the "United States Leaderboard" above the "Global Leaderboard" so that people would think that MIT was in first place.

I'm going to guess you are from the US.
For me in Israel, Israel's board was the top one.
Yep, definitely based on location. For me, it shows the India leaderboard first.
Actually, which leaderboard is shown on top depends on your (connection's) location.
Its hard to compete with a school who has about the same number of undergrads as MIT does people (undergrads, grads, and faculty)
Enrollment statistics of National University of Singapore http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/statistics.html or of National University of Taiwan http://www.ntu.edu.tw/engv4/about/about.html
So? MIT itself is larger than many other universities. Those universities may think that MIT has an unfair advantage.
Luckily, they made the point target for MIT >> population, so it's irrelevant.
