PhD, your link is so misleading.

It ranks DOCTORATE programs from 1993.


"In 1993, the National Research Council studied universities granting doctorates in each of the following 41 areas."


I think I've seen you mention this report 3 or 4 times already. Before you post, I suggest you check your facts. Also, I think someone else pointed this out a month ago when you cited this report and you seem to have overlooked that. Many students here are looking for honest advice that is relevant to today and their degree level. The study you cited is 15 years old and is for PhD programs, not undergrad. If you could, keep your links relevant.


EDIT: here's the other forum in which PhD posted this link. Also, the NRC is based upon PEER evaluations.

Johns Hopkins vs. Chicago and Cornell

I find it quite comedic how every UCLA supporter just bashes USC....
It's not about bashing SC, it's about telling the truth.

Truth is, UVA is just a BETTER school.
