[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Harvard worth the difference? DC would major in [b]business[/b] at UVA and economics at Harvard. [/quote]

A scholar studies a trade subject such as business? How many Jefferson scholars end up studying business at UVA?[/quote]

UVA has an exceptionally strong Econ department [/quote]
No, it doesn't. The Econ department is ranked in the 30s for graduate studies, and in the 40s for research productivity of the professors. [/quote]

[b]Without looking it up, what are the criteria your cited ranking uses?[/quote][/b]

This.  https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/university-of-virginia-main-campus/academic-life/academic-majors/social-sciences/economics/#rankings[/quote]

I[b]n other words, you don't know. Not a good way to make decisions.[/quote][/b]

I do know.  My DD was an Econ major and went to Wall Street.  I gave you the link to the ranking of UVA's Econ program, which is what you asked for[/quote]

You need to read more carefully. I asked you to, without looking it up, name the criteria those rankings use. Millions of people (you included apparently) use rankings without even understanding how they were generated. Again, it's a poor way to make decisions.[/quote]

You aren’t worth the time to respond to. Go take your need to split hairs and argue somewhere else.[/quote]

Just trying to help. But okay.[/quote]

Please. You’re not trying to help anyone.[/quote]
