[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you pick Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD over UVA, W&M and VT?[/quote]

My random thoughts.  W&M is really an anomaly here, it is so much smaller and more undergraduate focused that it provides a type of experience the UC schools can't.  Berkeley will be the most internationally recognized.  I think UCLA may have some quality of life advantages over Berkeley, though.  As someone who has lived in California, I think the UC schools may be overrated as undergraduate schools.  They really do prioritize research and graduate study.  However, if you want to live and work in California, the UCs may give you a leg up in getting established there.  However (again, as someone who has lived in California), it is difficult to overstate the high cost of living in many parts of California, particularly for young people.   [/quote]

As a VA resident who recently attended a few UC schools' admitted students days, we also had the feeling that they seemed overrated as undergraduate schools. VA schools were much more impressive, IMHO.[/quote]
