We've been rated the #1 public school in the country for 60+ years. Our graduate school is currently ranked #1, public or private. We have 20 Nobel Prize winners. Dare to compare to Tenn?

One of my favorite UT tshirts says:
2 Nobel Laureates
7 Rhodes Scholars
6 Pulitzer Prizes
10 Astronauts
...We also play a little football.

Ranking sources are what they are and tend to suck in every way, but I'd take UVA and Michigan over Cal all day long, especially at the graduate level.

Care to explain why? If you don't go by rankings, reputation, nobel prize winners, etc, what do you go by? Look at page 3.

Cal #1
Michigan #7
UVA Unranked

Michigan doesn't have a SINGLE graduate program ranked higher than Cal.

The only one ranked close is earth sciences all others cal is at least 7 spots higher than michigan.

How do you account for this MASSIVE difference? Just admit you don't know what you are talking about.

the rankings are useless. Michigan and UVA both have better law and business schools than Cal. by the by, usnews couldn't be any worse of an evaluator of the quality of the program.

As for my knowing nothing, I applied to Haas back in the day and was offered a ride there, but never even considered it in my final decision process. Why choose a school that is all but irrelevant outside of CA.

Couldn't you take this nonsense to a Stanford or Duke board?

This is a Tennessee athletics forum...and athletically, we're going to embarass you on your football field the same way we did in Knoxville last year.

Right that's why we were instrumental in developing the atom bomb. All those commies.

uhhh...the atom bomb was developed about 70 years ago. could we please use something of relevance. the flower children that now dominate the culture of the left coast universities weren't even around at the time.

Well who is a good evaluaor of the quality of the program? You? I imagine if you live in michigan or virginia, those schools would be better for you. Worldwide? They can't compare to Cal.

Why would one use a typical liberal news source in evaluating the quality of a program. I'll assure you that Michigan and Darden are better programs than Haas (Haas reputation is based upon the Dean and imagine why US News loves her). The preponderance of attorneys in the US are East Coast where, again, Berkeley is irrelevant.

I try to be optomistic but reality is reality. I watched to o&w game and saw plenty. No seperation and no speed (compared to a typical UT team). It really could be a long year, but I hope not. I can't believe I would ever say this but at least the football season will give me something to do till Bruce takes to the court.

The USNWR uses, "what did you score on the GMAT", "LSAT", etc., etc. They also use a "starting salary" and "average salary" in their computations. I'm pretty sure schools like U of C (University of Chicago) and the like get high rankings for their M.B.A. programs because of what the students actually do when they get out.

I'm also pretty sure that Cal doesn't get high academic rankings because Timothy Leary, Jerry Garcia and Neal Cassidy threw LSD parties on their campus.


But who cares?
