[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of my friend's kids go to sought after prIvate schools in CA and they would love for their kids to go to UCB. Unlike the PP, they say other than a handful of schools they would rather pay instate. Yes, its a big school but CA seems to have amazing options from UCs, CSU, and CC. I wish NY had such choices. There is no need to bash or look down on a school that consistently shows up in top 20 in most rankings, has great brand recognition, is in top 5 for most majors, is diverse and serves the people of its state well.

Posters: Berkeley is a great school and all, especially in-state, but not Ivy quality.
Response: How dare you bash this school!

Someone said it is comparable to UVA however the overall experience is probably better at UVA.  This sounds right.

If you care about a specific academic department ranking above all else, then we are happy for you to attend Berkeley.[/quote]

This is so subjective.  A lot of kids like the East Bay and SF and would much prefer to go to school there over UVA.  My son probably wouldn't have gotten into either, but he never would have considered UVA, even if he was a good candidate.[/quote]

I agree that the location makes Berkeley more appealing to some. My kids applied to Berkeley OOS but did not apply to UVA. [/quote]
