<p>i did not make any such "ridiculous claim." please re-read my last sentence, particularly the qualifier at the end. you seem to be extrapolating from the issue of undergraduate focus to that of the quality of the undergraduate experience. the two issues are not coextensive. i happen to believe that the undergrad focus at a school is determined largely by its undergrad to grad/prof ratio. do you disagree? as for the quality of the experience, naturally that's more complex, - the relationship between the ugrad-grad/prof ratio and ugrad quality is probably not all that highly correlated.</p>
