[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agreed with others, duke undergrad is highly overrated. people go there due to the basketball team.  now that coach k is gone, we’ll see what happens. not off to a good start losing to nc state last year[/quote]

Lol. Pretty sure people go to Duke because it consistently places kids in the top jobs, grad schools, etc. Top programs in the sciences, quantum computing, humanities, etc. Clearly some very salty people regarding Duke on here, but I understand because it’s the closest “highly elite” school for placements in the DMV. My kid applied and was rejected but is happy at UVA, and I would argue UVA in-state is one of the best deals in the country.[/quote]

How is UVA in-state one of the best deals in the country.  It’s far more than UC in state or Michigan in-state…especially for engineering.

You don't have to be THE best deal to be ONE of the best deals.  I wouldn't count on UCB and UCLA holding onto their prestige forever if they remain test blind.[/quote]

I am not sure if UCB and UCLA not requiring SATs will hurt them that much in the long run.  Even before TO, the SAT scores at Berkeley and UCLA were VERY low compared to their peers.  For example, Berkeley's 25% SAT score was below 1300 pre-Covid, 2019-2020.  It was even lower at UCLA.  They don't care about having students with high SAT's.  Of course, there has been a tremendous amount of data about the validity of the SAT in predicting student performance, including the UC's own studies.  But politically I doubt California will ever reverse course.[/quote]
