[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public school boosters are crazy. UCB, UCLA, Michigan, UVA are no match for HYPSM. The public's have a hard time competing with the like of Emory, Vandy and the like. [/quote]

For undergrad, true. But don’t generalize this fact and pretend that HYPSM are the best universities overall. Yale and Princeton are no match for Berkeley’s grad schools.[/quote]

What are Berkeley's top graduate programs?[/quote]

Every single subject in the humanities, social sciences, and STEM, plus pretty good business and law schools. Princeton matches their arts and sciences but its lack of professional schools means that overall Berkeley is better. Yale is not elite for STEM, especially their atrocious CS and engineering programs. The only schools that have no weaknesses in the arts and sciences are Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley.

But again, people who rave about HYP are usually those who glorify the WASP country club life and thinks of STEM and professional schools as unsophisticated and “too practical” subjects. So I guess my point is meaningless for these people. [/quote]
