<p>How is strength of undergraduate program rated?</p>
<p>I see the Gourman Report but question the usefulness/validity of it. Are there other sources specific to degrees?</p>
<p>And for large “general” degrees like chemistry (or psychology, etc.) I am wondering how much weight that carries, assuming you do very well regardless of where you go.</p>
<p>Or is it simply a matter of the US News and World Report rankings being in play for these types of undergraduate degrees.</p>
<p>(As an example, my cousin’s roommate is now attending Harvard Law School after attending a so-called “third tier” university for her undergraduate degree. Is that really off the norm?)</p>
