[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Failure to use the SAT in admissions is making the University of California system look like a clown-car.  [/quote]

Anyone who would make a statement like that is driving the clown car. That said, the UCs like all public schools aren’t top 20 undergraduate schools and they shouldn’t try to be. They are in place to serve their state residents.[/quote]

UC has two schools in the top 10 undergraduate universities, the next three (SD, Davis and Irvine) are ranked 29, 31 and 31. The next level down are ranked 38, 52, 80 (Santa Barbara, Merced and Santa Cruz) . Not sure where Riverside is but it’s in the top 100.

Having 5 instate options T1-T31 is pretty fortunate for CA residents even though the top 5 are hard to get into if you are from a wealthy high performing area.[/quote]

The undergraduate education provided by any UC is large scale factory education. It is not an elite education though many try to make it out as such. [/quote]
