Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3682532, member: 6696"] How do these rankings work? Aren't different programs in the university different? An English major or a biochem major at UConn have completely different experiences. Is it based on teaching or what professors are publishing? Plus SO MANY undergrad classes are taught by TAs at big state schools and they are often pretty terrible at their jobs. Plenty at UConn are. My only real experience is with my fiance who has her phd from UConn and is doing a fellowship at Yale now. They have rankings for all the schools in her field but it seems most people don't care about them. Going here was much more about one specific prof who agreed to advise her at UConn from what I gather. [/QUOTE]
