[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey dipsh*t, both Michigan and Berkeley are ranked #3 in undergraduate business with much better programs than Penn elsewhere. This isn’t hard analysis unless you’re simply sucking Wharton cock. [/quote]

Well aren't you a delicate and refined flower.  [i]"You obviously have a wonderful economy with words, Gloria. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.”[/i]

I stand by the comment that [b]broad brush micro-analysis[/b] of elite colleges is a useless and stupid exercise.  [/quote]

Not the PP you’re responding to, but it’s clear you have no real response. Also, the bolded is contradictory and sort of an oxymoron.

No it isn't.  It means using a broad brush and saying something like "Amherst is better than Williams" without any metrics to make what it, at best, a nominal distinction.

What "real response" would you want?  [i]"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."[/i] - Hitchens's Razor

You were given evidence, derived from department rankings. [/quote]

Yes, and the subjective aspects and confirmation bias exhibited by choosing those particular rankings - which differ wildly from other rankings with different criteria -- is exactly the point.  The specifics were pointed out above too.

The WSJ rankings have Duke ahead of Princeton, Cornell above JHU and Columbia, will you accept that as proof that they are better?  No?  Why  not?  Because you know that this is dumb.[/quote]
