Stanford & Cal Berkeley have plenty to crow about after new grad school survey

[Anonymous]

"Harvard University and a few other East Coast houses of higher education can claim boasting rights for being No. 1 in the country in several of U.S. News & World Report's latest ranking of graduate schools. But don't count out Stanford and the University of California at Berkeley — both Bay Area schools are well represented.

In the rankings for top MBA program spot, Harvard and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania tied for first place. Stanford comes in at fourth and Berkeley is at No. 7. Stanford bests Harvard and Wharton, though, when the list focuses in on entrepreneurship programs with Stanford following Babson College (Harvard is fourth and Wharton is seventh).

Look beyond the best business school category, and there's plenty for both Stanford and Berkley to shout about:

Best Engineering School— Here, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology comes in at No. 1. Stanford is second and Berkeley is third.

Best Education School— Harvard comes out on top with Stanford right behind it. Berkeley trails at No. 18.

Best Medical School, Research— It's a Harvard-Stanford split again for first and second. A different University of California institution, this one in San Francisco, takes fourth.

Best Law School— Yale is No. 1 and Stanford is No. 2. Berkeley comes in at No. 12.

Best Computer Science School— Stanford and Berkeley are tied for first place, along with MIT and Carnegie Melon.

Best Economics School— Once again, Stanford and Berkeley are No 1., this time tying with four other schools from the East Coast — Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Yale."

I don't think you need to defend Stanford/Berkeley. They've done great in the rankings for years.

Go Cal!!

Yes, but what about undergrad at Cal? Many people have mentioned how overcrowded and underfunded Cal is. Will the knowledge of a Nobel Prize winner really trickle down in a 800 person lecture???

Crowding occurs at almost all public schools and despite limited resources and other issues, Cal Berkeley has the best undergraduate business school (except maybe UPenn) as well as the best engineering, chemistry and computer science programs for undergraduates. It also has the most top 10 graduate programs of all the universities in the country.

this all has remarkably little to do with undergrads, anyway.
