@mtk4yu “how would uva claim supremacy over Caltech in the sciences? cal tech awarded 163 degrees in science with only 979 undergraduate students. UVA awarded a pathetic 167 with an undergraduate size of 16331. that’s not even a comparison Caltech destroys UVA in science. once you normalize per size cal tech actually awarded the most bachelors of science compared to both UVA and va tech.”
If you read it again you can see it was a rhetorical comment about quantity vs quality since not too many schools can go toe-to-toe with Caltech in sciences.
