Surprises me how immature a Stanford graduate could be.

Oh, you mean the fact that I didn't reply to this forum for one day and you were giggling about how that meant you'd "shown me," rather than thinking that I have things to do that are not related to this website?

TSR has some useful info but people take it way too seriously! Go outside, go to a party, do something else that will remind you that TSR is not really that important!

On that note, I'm off to enjoy one of my last nights at college with my friends, drinking and being merry.

I meant the Chinese one...but I'm not mad about the THES one either! I come out alright either way :smile:

Nobody should be more aware of how flawed the Chinese ranking is than LSE students. Me and Knogle could come up with a more accurate world ranking in our spare time. It would be a bad table even if they had called it a Science ranking (which it is and therefore of course LSE is not going to get any recognition).

And shady Lane this post is waiting for when you next choose to grace us with your presence but can I then take it that you no longer dispute that there is more direct contact time for undergraduates with professors at Oxford than at Harvard? :smile:

The Chinese ranking is a joke. First time I saw it I... *cannot describe*. Any ranking which places 17 American universities among the world's "top 20" is pathetic, not least because while Oxbridge is indeed easily at the Ivies' level, Tokyo Uni isn't exactly a beacon of knowledge...

Yes, I am looking forward to attending LSE and rejecting those American schools who have accepted me. I'm really excited to experience a different education system, so LSE seems more attractive...

I hated Harvard from the very beginning... and this may sound very Asian, but I applied just to please my parents. Because I don't have an "insurance" choice (or safety, as Americans would say), I made a deposit at Columbia. If I can't end up in London, I'd at least like to stay in one of the greatest cities in the world, New York.

My daughter is going to London LSE this year 2011. And I did told her, next step go New York City. And she will get both London and New York City. Not a bad deal , I think.
