| "And with the time that the top universities have been around, do you really think 13 years is going to make that much of a difference?"
-- In a young field like neuroscience, a HUGE difference.
"And to assume that at the top universities, there will be little room for research because of graduate students is silly. The schools that top the list are rather wealthy ones in which you'll find many opportunities."
There is always room for the TOP students at any school. But regardless of the school, 50% of the student body is in the bottom half of the class. The question is what kind of opportunities are available for the AVERAGE student. (And at many "top" schools, because professors are paid for their research results, not for how many undergraduates work in their labs, the number of average students who get such opportunities is pitifully small.) |
