What's wrong with geography? I worked in city planning, and was glad to work alongside some very good GIS people.

I actually think social workers serve a vital function, but it should not be an undergraduate major. Social work should be a graduate-only degree, just as there should be no such major as ‘pre-med.’
I can agree with that

Yeah, what the hell? Social Workers should make more money...can be a very tough job.
You guys are idiots. Someone isn't dumb or smart based on the major they're in. Anyone can choose any major. There were some real dumbasses going for degrees in engineering at my school.
What school was that? Colleges typically either require a high ACT to get into engineering or you can't enter until your second year after achieving a high GPA. Physics, engineering, and math are the most difficult majors. If you knew some guys that were dumb who were majoring in engineering, they probably ended up graduating with a degree in social work or they dropped out altogether.

Where on Earth are you getting Saarel's GPA down to the third decimal point...?
That being said, I have no idea why you question Oregon's curriculum in comparison to some of the other schools on there. Of the students you listed, Gourley, Ciattei, and Bartelsmeyer come respectively from Virginia Tech and Georgetown, which are respectable.
Saarel is at Colorado, and Leon is at Montana State. I assume you have not studied at all 3 institutions, so you do not actually have a personal method of measure to compare them. Going solely by ranking, "Oregon Klown Kollege" is currently 103, while Colorado is 90, and Montana State is 200+. If Oregon's curriculum is supposedly a joke, then Colorado's is nearly as bad, and Montana's is likely far worse.
For those who claim that ranking isn't everything, I agree. Unfortunately, given that no one person has sat and evaluated the curriculum of every school in question, I doubt there's a better measure. If you have one, I'm happy to hear it.
Saarel's GPA is listed in the bottom of his bio profile:
http://cubuffs.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=11027I think it is there to basically say he got one A/B or A- or something. I was most impressed reading about him because when you think about how his semester ends up he is probably taking an upper level computer science course and an upper level physics engineering course. Beforehand he will have had some type of demanding math courses which is all very hard to juggle while you're a student athlete (again look back at that GPA). Colorado is a pretty competitive school as well.
A lot of people on here rip on Oregon as being an extended high school or clown school. I am sure it is competitive as a flagship university. I simply like reading about not just the fast times but the well-rounded individuals.

So if you take the SAT instead of the ACT, you can't enter college as an engineering student? This doesn't make any sense.
ACT or SAT silly. Some colleges have this requirement. Others make you wait 1-2 years. Below are the requirements at Georgetown's Engineering College as an example.
Applicants must have been enrolled at Georgetown for at least the past 2 years. Overall pre-engineering GPA of 3.3 or higher and the minimum grade for each pre-engineering science or math course must be a B or higher on the first attempt. Applicants must receive three favorable recommendations: one from Assistant Dean Ed Meyertholen and one from a science and math professor at Georgetown.

First and foremost, I found it troubling that many of these girls are in some kind of science that enables them to count calories and obsess over nutrition. I hope that my assessment is off-base and not reality. Moving on...
While I was tabulating these girls I kept a running score in the background as to which was the best bring home to mom type. Disclaimer: My intention is to empower not leer. And, really, they all ended up being bring home to mom types but the ones who stood out most to me also had the most competitive career paths. Here it comes (in my opinion):
Miss Lady Miler of the NCAA: Rachel Pocratsky of Virginia Tech
- totally does not seem into herself at all
- of course fast and smart
- very uplifting smile
- "healthy" vibes
Runner-up: Vanessa Fraser of Stanford
Third place: hometown hero in pursuit of an engineering degree, Millie Paladino, formerly of WVU and now at Providence
Other notes:
- Elise Cranny deserves mention for many reasons
- Oregon doesn't list any of their above athletes' career choices
- Oregon has an Australian connection...
- Oregon has a 4th miler in this field in Nikki Hiltz; she left because of a "broken promise" apparently
- Interesting that Rhianwedd Price-Weimer married at a young age (why?)
- It's a neat story that Christina Aragon is following in her father's footsteps
Here is Chuck Aragon trying to out do Sydnee Maree in 1984:

Add nutrition to the list of majors that don't need to exist. If you major in biochem and take a nutrition elective, you'll have a better understanding of nutrition than any nutrition major.
Same with exercise science. A bio major who tailors their program around ex phys will have a better understanding of exercise science than an exercise science major.
College is the easiest time to run, regardless of major....unless they are putting in 40+ hours of class + study + lab time.

My rank based on major and school:
1) Ben Saarel...............Colorado.................Engineering Physics/Computer Science
Tough double major at a school with a good Physics rep.
2) Neil Gourley.............Virginia Tech............Mechanical Engineering
Tough major at a strong technical school.
3) Vincent Ciattei..........Virginia Tech............Engineering Sciences & Mechanics
Tough major at a strong technical school (presuming this is a more general version of Mechanical Engineering?)
4) Sam Prakel...............Oregon...................Biochemistry
Tough major at Oregon Klown Kollege.
5) Amos Bartelsmeyer........Georgetown...............Master's in Finance
Moderately difficult program at a well-reputed business school.
6) Diego Leon...............Montana State............Mathematics
Math is one of the toughest majors conceptually, but Montana State does not have a good reputation. Also could be a teaching option which would be less conceptual and easier.
7)Zach Perrin..............Colorado.................Integrative Physiology

Not sure how an MS in Finance is anything less than #1 compared to any undergraduate degree. You been to grad school?

Ran D3. Just about everyone was putting in 40+ hours of class + study + lab time.
Too bad but smart people are in every major and the reverse. It's not evenly distributed but neither are intellectual talents at one area necessarily connected to intellectual talents in another area. I get many undistinguished engineering majors in my gen ed classes as well as plenty of very good students coming from disrespected liberal arts fields.

I hope you mean 40+ hours when combining class + study + lab time. I think Alan meant 40+ hours in class, in addition to studying and lab time.
I have never heard of a student taking 40 credit hours in a semester before. Besides the semantics Alan is correct. Training for any sport is easier while in college. Unless of course you become a professional after school, which I couldn’t speak of.

It’s not legit. Most anyone could handle those jobs without a degree. What they really want are people fully indoctrinated with years of marxist brainwashing.
Diego Leon is actually a Civil Engineering Major.

Lol, you could say that about a lot of jobs...you can learn the job and not need a degree, but society dictates that you must have a degree to get the job.
