| Mom,
Agree with looking beyond rankings. What puzzles me are all the posts regarding what is the "best" for any of dozens of measures. I don't even know what best means for any one measure.
And worse is when you see posters ask for the "best" graduate school institutions. Not departments, but overall. Yikes. Then on top of that are those who argue that going to the "best" really matters. Of course these folks usually inhabit ivy land and a number are in Cambridge MA, for whatever that means. |
