[quote=Anonymous][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?

lol, are you for real? Poor Berkeley students attending some of best programs in the country when they could have gone straight to UVA.

Mind boggling how complete ignoramuses imagine themselves seers of wisdom! [/quote]

You are cherry picking rankings to make Berkeley look better than it is.

No question the undergrad experience at UVA is better than Berkeley.

State flagships tend to have an inflated reputation in their home state.  Are you living in California?  The rest of the country barely thinks about Berkeley at all.  You are out of touch with reality.[/quote]

Just so you know, opinions about Berkeley in California are probably as polarizing, if not more so, than OOS.  We are more familiar with many issues related to housing, class availability and toxic competition.  It isn’t romanticized.  I know 2 kids from my son’s class who got accepted to Berkeley and then got off the waitlist for UCLA and will go there instead.  It is a great fit for some but not others.  [/quote]Polarizing not for Cal's status as public, but because of the reasons you mentioned and the fact that it has been destination for strange people.   [/quote]
