<p>“UWash or WashU?”</p>
<p>University of Washington, not WashU at St. Louis.</p>
<p>“Anyway Davis is ranked ~ 20 in the nation for Biology, and 1st in Agricultural.
(considered very great school for those two programs)”</p>
<p>Source? Since there is no ranking for Biology at the undergraduate level, are you referring to the graduate level? If so, I’d be interested to see what you support your statement with.</p>
<p>As I was referring to the NRC rankings of PhD programs (only ranking sufficient as there is no undergraduate biology ranking), it seems that your statement is rather unfounded. The only time Davis is ranked above the 30’s is in Ecology/Evolution/Behavior at spot 5. I guess this is somewhat related to Agriculture, but not really.</p>
<p>On the other hand, UCSD’s presence in the top 10 is easily seen. Biology at UCSD is solid.</p>
