[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And now back to the OP question 
Why are 5 UCs in the public top 10 rankings?
What about the other 5 in the top 10; how did they get there and why?[/quote]

The argument for Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD is pretty strong. I’d expand to Top 15 and have the following as my personal rankings:

Tier 1: Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan
Tier 2: UVA, UNC, Texas
Tier 3: Georgia Tech, Florida, Washington
Tier 4: UCSD, UIUC
Tier 5: Georgia, Purdue, Wisconsin, Florida St.[/quote]

Let me fix this for you

Tier 1: Berkely, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Virginia, UNC
Tier 2 : UCLA Florida UIUC Texas
Tier 3: Purdue Wisconsin Washington UCSD[/quote]

I’m a fan of Georgia Tech, but perhaps not as much as you. If looking only at test scores and grades (including rigor) it would be right up there with my Tier 1.

But there’s obviously more to it than those two measurables … just as one example, applicants admitted to both have made it pretty clear:

79/21 choose Berkeley over Tech
71/29 choose UCLA over Tech
65/35 choose Michigan over Tech

Tech is definitely competitive with Tier 2, though, and then some …

51/49 Tech over UVA
76/24 Tech over UNC
52/48 Texas over Tech

I guess I’d move Georgia Tech to my Tier 2 … but that’s probably the only one of your revisions that I’d agree with.[/quote]
