I had an absolutely wonderful student talk herself into being miserable at USC because her buddies at Harvard told her our PhD program was a “C” program. USC wasn’t good enough for her, she was underplaced, etc etc.
I believe the expression is: um, yeah. We’re so inferior.
Where was this ranking? I guess Virginia Tech didn’t make the list?
Note in fine print that U of P, that little Scotch-Irish Presybterian hovel on New Jersey’s comfy Route 27 (I live 20 feet from the road), did OK too. It’s very competitive in America, training civil servants that everyone else can loathe.
I’ll take second to Princeton.
I still think we need a bullpen where the students can congregate.
I agree, I agree, Richard. I wonder which one of us has Deans and donors who listen to us who might make that happen?
