Barron’s, aren’t you going to whip out and post the same old tired and irrelevant report of deficiencies in certain of U-Va’s GRADUATE SCHOOL science programs that you post every time anyone dares to say anything good about studying anything having to do with science in the undergraduate school?

In fact, according to the most recent NRC rankings, neither U-Va or UNC have particularly distinguished science programs, but the same is not true with Spanish. U-Va ranks fourth in the country, after Yale, Harvard and Berkeley. UNC isn’t in the top 30.

I agree with Barron’s that it’s a wash if money is at all a factor, but not if it isn’t.
