[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, let's just be honest here.  This kid was not ivy+ material.  He also didn't get into his flagship university, UC Berkeley.  Where he landed makes a lot of sense.[/quote]

Berkeley and UCLA are considered equally prestigious. Rankings and admissions rates are about the same. For Neuroscience I’d give the edge to UCLA because of the medical school.

What’s Ivy+ material? Berkeley and UCLA kids are not below Ivy, you’re just being ridiculous. I’d take in state UCLA over Dartmouth or Cornell any day. [/quote]

Not true at all.  The gap between UC Berkeley and UCLA is huge.  UC Berkeley is miles ahead.

It also doesn’t come close to any of the Ivy+ schools.  Comparing any of the UCs to Dartmouth or Cornell is just delusional.[/quote]

Cornell is hanging on by a thread - fourth tier Ivy, at best, and borderline Top 25 overall.[/quote]

Despite that it is a much better university than any of the UCs.  On a different level.[/quote]

For colleges within 5 spots in the rankings, it doesn’t really matter. They are not on a different level, it’s the same level.

At that point, base the school choice on other factors like fit, finances, location, major, clubs, internships, vibe, connecting with a professor during visits, industry you’re targeting after college etc. [/quote]

Your rankings are flawed.  The UCs are just not comparable to the ivies.[/quote]
