Seriously dude, if correcting me is a fettish, up unto the point where your willing to devote your whole afternoon to doing so, just let me know. This is not healthy, your rather fixation is as nausiating as it is terrifying. You must be a devil with the ladies...lol

<p>This is your first and last warning, if you cannot write properly, then I will not read your post; writing with such atrocious grammar and rhetoric is an insult to the reader.</p>

those are not the general rule...most professors at top 25 schools haven't won anything

</p>
<p>Read their credentials again, they do not only include awards, and yes, it is a general rule.</p>

Is that why you apply to these schools? For a rep? Thats a terrible waste of cash if you ask me.

</p>
<p>Where did I state that? Did I not just write a lengthy "dissertation" on why Harvard is, indeed, a better choice than Tufts, none of which even touched on "reputation." Learn to read.</p>

Exactly my point...most of these schools are incredibly overrated. I agree, if you take 8 or 9 of the award winning professors at Harvard, use those professors to generalize all the professors at Harvard...than yes, Harvard is hard to beat. Again though, do you honestly think these world renowned professors are going to devote any meaningful amount of time to undergraduates?

<p>First, thank you for ripping my quote out of context. Secondly, I did in no way generalize. My statements about the professors, as can be seen by my evidence, were all in regard to the philosophy department. I used the philosophy department because you evoked terms such as "Hobbes" "Kant," and so forth. Would you like to alter the playing ground so I can prove how Harvard is superior in every other department in comparison to Tufts?</p>

<p>You would be surprised, both Dr. Scanlon and Dr. Parfit were there when I
attended.</p>

Couldn't possibly care less!!!

<p>They were examples. Whether you care or not is irrelevant, however, they do substantiate my point quite well.</p>

You have to look at this realistically.

</p>
<p>I am not the one arguing that Tufts and Harvard are essentially the same.</p>

Most students, including the vast majority of those at HYP,etc just want a degree.

</p>
<p>This does not help your argument, it is irrelevant.</p>

Most couldn't give a damn about Kant, Hidigger or anyone else once the exam is over.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>This does not help your argument either.</p>

My point is unless there is some specialized aspect of a school, such as a focus in Kantian philosophy, than there is really no reason to fret about not being there.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>What if they have an expertise in almost all departments of philosophy, like... umm... Harvard?</p>
<p>
[quote]
If you just want to major in Philosophy or Political Science, without devoting the remainder of your existance to the subject, than community college is every bit as useful as Harvard.

<p>This does not help your argument either.</p>

Face it man, most folks just want to live a normal life...I've met a crapload of folks at Harvard and trust me when I say they have no aspirations of devoting their life to Kant or whoever.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Perhaps because they are majoring in something else?</p>

They want some cash, a decent job and a girl...thats what most people want

</p>
<p>A degree from Harvard will almost guarantee them first-rate access to all.</p>
