That's right....I will not be an undergraduate.... Here is the overall ranking, including undergraduate, if you are interested: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/displayPopup/0,,13373,00.html Thanks

Which of my statements leads you to that conclusion?

I can understand your US bias (i am a US citizen also) but there are no rankings which rank international universities in mathematics. You are automatically assuming that US schools would be ranked higher than the UK schools. It may well be that an international ranking would look like this...

Not pickpockets but rather opportunists.

I see. So let's say that emotional discipline is way up on the discipline ladder (just before the overall discipline required for trading). I think trading is the perfect job: it makes you master of your life (not only your physical life but virtually every aspect of your life including...

Some people are not suited to ass kissing. I thought trading was an escape from the ass kissing corporate world I have read so much about. If you have the poor bastard running errands for you, why would you expect him to become an expert in anything? Hire an intern for your errands and maybe...

That was funny!:D
