[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the Ivy League, plus Stanford, MIT, Duke, Northwestern, Chicago, Hopkins, Caltech, and Berkeley.

Top publics like UCLA, UVA, UMich, and UNC are widely respected and regarded as terrific schools, but people wouldn't consider them "elite", per se.[/quote]

^^^ thinks Berkeley is a private institution, and/or hasn’t paid attention to the last decade of public institution rankings.[/quote]
They stated Berkeley is elite. It is certainly more elite than UCLA, even if UCLA is higher ranked. There's no way to explain the magnitude that Berkeley has had on science, culture, the humanities, etc. It is both a school that is esteemed in academia but also has great outcomes in industry.[/quote]

Continue to think what you’d like; the UC regents don’t share your view, and the admissions data and USNWR rankings for the past decade certainly don’t disagree.

Berkeley is still a great school. It’s just not UCLA (or Michigan). I guess it’s most similar to Wisconsin in that its peak occurred around 40+ years ago.[/quote]
