^^^HAHAHA^^^

I don’t even go to UCLA and I’m not psych major. Maybe you should stop spewing your ad hominem garbage now, you sound like a third grader.

I read your previous post in its entirety and I was responding to it appropriately and based on your reaction, you obviously can’t handle it if anyone has an opinion different than yours. You have an emotional investment in this issue because you go to USC.

The ranking that I linked to ranks undergraduate programs, not graduate programs. Not all UC classes are taught by TAs, just the lower division classes and its not 100% of the time. If someone is given the option of working with stellar facility for a percentage of their undergrad career and working with TA’s for the rest of the time, or working with a somewhat less stellar facility 100% of the time, they might logically choose the former because of the advantages associated with working with someone considered an expert in their field. Therefore it is accurate to say that to a student with the above mentality would find the academics to be better at a school with better faculty, even if they do not have a contact with that faculty 100% of their years as an undergrad.

Until you can actually demonstrate how those rankings are “politically swayed”, than you are simply spouting out nonsense with nothing to back it up.

I also already conceded that USC has some good programs, but I was making the point that the overall educational reputation of USC is not quite as high as that of UCLA or UC Berkeley, and insulting me by attacking a school that I am not enrolled in and a subject that I am not majoring in isn’t going to change that fact. Sorry.
