DoubleD, are you questioning my own experience with my professors? Here are the alma maters of all of the professors I have had - those that were listed, anyway (also note that these are where they obtained their PhDs and/or master’s from, not undergrad degrees; also, I only included full professors, not non-tenured lecturers): Harvard x 3, Princeton x 2, Oxford x 2, Johns Hopkins x 2, and North Carolina. The only professor I’ve had that did NOT obtain his/her PhD from a top tier university went to North Carolina, an outstanding school in its own right. That is, in my small sample, 90% of my professors went to a top-tier university for his/her PhD. Can you cite “your experience” that boasts similar percentages, or is that just your opinion? If you’re going to question something, at least show me the money.
