<p>Zimzam, I now realize that my post lacks any sort of structure, and is a bit annoying to read. But, to be fair, I wrote it up in less than ten minutes and did not even once think about how well it reads through. This is a forum dude…
As to your other point about my post being ‘flush with bias’, I would actually like to hear how. I made it rather clear at numerous points that I have never attended UCLA, and thus do not pretend to intimately know their program. All the points of comparison I made between Cal and UCLA are facts that I have no doubt about and which can be verified by anyone: we are ranked higher, we have a more distinguished faculty, we have better grad students, we have smaller class sizes, and so on.
All in all, I do apologize for the *<strong><em>ty and annoying format of my my last post, but have no regrets about the actual information in it. I do want to be helpful though, and so, I won’t leave my post the way it currently is. I’ll come back after midterms and rewrite that *</em></strong> so as to make it at least decently readable. Peace!</p>
