[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Berkeley definitely has a wow factor but HYP have a bit more wow factor.[/quote] “Wow” is not what comes to mind when I hear of a top student attending Berkeley oos. “How” is the word that comes to mind. “How” could this process have been approached differently to get a better outcome? [/quote] The original thread was comparing in state Berkeley with HYP. This is a legitimate comparison, and I think kids may choose one or the other depending on major, family finances etc. Cornell is a close contender for engineering and Penn is better for business, but I’d choose in state Berkeley over Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and Yale for STEM. Most people would choose Harvard and Princeton over Berkeley, but they all are good options and there no wrong answer. It boils down to affordability and fit. It’s a little silly to put UVA and Virginia Tech on the same level with Berkeley. [/quote] It’s a little silly to make this about in-state and then disparage UVA. By your criterion, UVA in-state over Berkeley. But we don’t really care about cost conscious folks or your wallet: Berkeley undergrad is in no way comparable to the schools you mentioned — for most applicants. What it is comparable to is UVA. oos UVA vs. oos Berkeley, most would go with UVA and it’s far superior undergraduate experience… [/quote] Nah, it’s not even close. Look up US News rankings of [b]undergraduate[/b] programs. Berkeley #2 in Business #2 in Computer Science #5 in Economics #3 in Engineering #2 in Psychology #18 in Undergraduate Research UVA #13 in Nursing While Berkeley doesn’t have the cache or prestige (lol) of HYPSM, it’s pretty close, and its undergraduate programs are very good. But you do you and go to UVA for the “superior undergraduate experience”. lol. [/quote]
