<p>bzva74, I must apologize for my baby brother university, UCLA.</p>
<p>You see it is a very bitter university. First, it is always in the shadow of the #1 public research university (which, btw, they got killed on the football field today), it is officially ranked below its rival school, USC in US News, and the NRC ranked it as the third best UC for PhDs, below UCSD. </p>
<p>Again, you must understand the pain the student body is experiencing. I ask, no, beg of you, to be kind to the bitter bruins. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
