[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Berkeley has lost it’s uniqueness in the last 10-12 years. It’s a great school. One of the best. The students there are driven and smart. But if you had a parent that attended or anyone else Pre-2010-ish,, you’d know it used to be a much more of unique experience. I have a friend who has said they are struggling to Hire talent in certain departments b/c of this.  It’s no longer “fun and quirky”. I don’t think it will be long before it’s much more than a glorified state school given the shift [/quote]
Yea it's lost some of its luster, UCLA is more selective now a days. Could say Georgetown and maybe Cornell lost some spark too...MAYBE.

Conversely UCLA could move up to borderline/Elite and Maybe NYU is a few years...MAYBE. [/quote]

Interesting point. Frankly, I see it moving the same way as Berkeley. They are struggling to maintain distinct culture identity that put them where they are now. Not sure how to fix this. I think the east coast schools have done a better job not falling prey to this[/quote]
I see what your saying, I kind of agree. Bekeley and LA are beholden to the state, and they want to make the other UCs (Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara etc) better. I heard the UC regents wants to double the size of all UCs which will certainly lower the quality. However UCLA has Los Angeles and similarly NYU has New York so that's why I said they have more potential. [/quote]
