[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another reason why Berkeley is on the same level with HYP, this years Nobel Prize in Physics is shared between UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara.[/quote]A top tier place to be a professor, for sure. Doesn't have much to do with the undergrad experience, unlike at HYP where the prestige trickles down mich more regularly[/quote] What people don’t understand about prestige, it’s in the eye of the beholder. In some circles like specific industries and majors, the popular prestige metric doesn’t hold anymore. Berkley is a valid choice among HYPSM and I’d add here Chicago and Caltech. Also in the job market it’s a threshold you need to pass not a raking, a degree from Berkeley will get you in the door just as any other from top schools, the rest is on you. I see in state kids that are sensitive to cost choosing Berkeley and I know many that went to HYPSM for grad school.[/quote]
