[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I've learned over the past decade in academia, it's that you probably get a better education in middle tier schools. At top schools, the professors are 90% focused on publishing and they put very little into teaching. They either go through the motions or have their TA do everything. It was pretty shocking to me to learn how terrible "great" professors are at actually teaching their students. [/quote] Went to a Tier 3'ish undergrad but the professors were new on the teaching ladder, graduated from great schools, and loved educating students - learned a lot. Went to one of the better business schools, professors were always quoted in the Wall Street Journal, yet for the most part didn't give a crap about teaching. Naturally, the first school is nowhere near as well thought of as the second, but the education was better. Go figure.[/quote]
