[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown, Dartmouth, Rice, W&M and [b]Berkeley[/b][/quote] What is your assessment of Berkeley based on? [/quote] The only sense I can think of in which Berkeley has fallen out of fashion is it is behind UCLA in USNWR. That would have been completely unthinkable before, and I still don't buy it. The other schools are all fine schools and the poster is probably one of those that thinks only large schools doing big research are good for undergraduate study.[/quote] I hate the college hate here. But I think Berkeley is suffering because it has an ultra-selective, somewhat random admissions process and makes it hard for students to graduate in four years. It’s obviously a great value for low-income California kids who get in and can’t go for less elsewhere. But it seems as if most other high-stats kids would be better off going somewhere like Indiana University, or a private school with great merit aid.[/quote]
