[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting, PP, but someone close to me did almost exactly what you just described with a science degree - from UVA.  [/quote]

Right, [b]UVA where there are 16,000 undergraduates, [/b]the professors don’t know their students, small group tutorials taught by grad students and incredibly competitive atmosphere.  I’ve got two there now. Their brother who went to a CTCL school got a much more personalized education, which is what was best for him. The  2 at Uva are happy but sometimes wonder if they would have been better off at a much smaller college. [/quote]

And Berkeley has 30K undergrad.
And UCLA has 32K undergrads
And Michigan has 30K underrgrads.

So what?

My rising four year at UVA most certainly knows his professors and they know him.  He's now in seminars with 8 to 10 students. It was the professors' letters that got him the best internships in his field . . because the professors are names you would know.  DS never once was taught by a grad student (once a grad student did initial grading on a paper but he has never been TAUGHT by a grad student.  It's competitive if you want it to be.  You can join a frat and slide, too, if you want.[/quote]
