[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best state universities are in California. California does not allow affirmative action by law.[/quote] They have moved to "holistic" admissions to get around that law. This de-emphasized just looking at things like standardized test scores. If Berkeley and UCLA just went by standardized test scores and class rank, they would be significantly more selective than other state schools in my view. But note that other state schools do the same. There was a very recent study by a conservative think tank that showed that W&M and UVA have large gaps in standardized test scores between different racial groups. I have lived in California. I would dispute that they are the best state universities for undergraduates. The UC System is extraordinarily focused on research and graduate programs. [/quote]
