After deciding on doing my masters, I found out two things.
First, there are 4 California universities that are ranked higher than Purdue for ChE grad programs. (and I'm not including CalTech)
So an even higher chance yes?
but will talk about this later
I need to really think my decisions through

The more important thing that I want to talk about the overall rankings of a school. More specifically the Times's ranking.
back when I was worrying about undergrad (seemed such a long time ago. Sad. I'm old) I have a 3 school shortlist, Purdue, Penn State and Texas A&M.
After much deliberations and some help from an (unlikely? or more expected) source, I finally decided on Purdue. and....Tada.....
in the Top 200 univeristies, Purdue is ranked 99 (above the mean!!! Since Mean would be 100 right???) Penn State at 105 and TAMU at 137!!!

Yay!!!
No grounds for regrets!!!

(haih... the truth is despite all these differences in rankings, this 3 school are just a ranked apart in undergrad ChE according to US News.)
Maybe I should have went to TAMU then Purdue for grad school since Purdue provide free tuition for Grad School!!! Ahhh the greatness of Discovery Park.

首先， 我要说明.......这会是我最后一次说有关这件事（在这好像是第一次，但还是最后一次）。我其实很困扰为什么会发生这件事。好想这件事可以随我的意思决绝，但这并没发生！！！
其实我不明白为什么会有人这么dense！！是真的不明白还是在装？
如果是在装我应该如何呢？再说下去不久朋友之间闹僵了吗？难道要我很明确的坐下来和你说出不就搞得大家尴尬？
（可是如果是装的.....再说也没用！！！）

如果问题是他dense话.... 看来就要开口见山，然后默默希望他就会明白！！

帮帮我！！！
好烦啊！！！
好啦!!
说完爽多了！！
谢谢！！！
