Why grad school/department rankings matter to undergrads when choosing a school

[UCBChemEGrad]

<p>TAs at Berkeley were never used in lectures, professors taught all my courses…only discussion and lab sections for larger science, economics and math classes were taught by TAs.</p>

<p>And, if you think those smaller, LAC-like universities don’t use TAs, you’re kidding yourself:

Those T/A opportunities are as actual “teaching assistants” i.e. in sections or in labs. They don’t teach actual classes as they do at research universities. Dartmouth only has T/As teach classes in one dept - intro math.
