[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Further trashing of the UC haters:

Acceptance rate for in-state applicants:

UCLA: 10.0%
Berkeley: 13.5%
UCSD: 26.5%

UVA: 25.5%
Michigan - Ann Arbor: 39.5%
UT - Austin: 41.0%
UNC - Chapel Hill: 41.5%

Compare those stone cold facts with the respective OOS acceptance rates.

We’re supposed to believe that the institutions accepting a higher percentage of their population are better than the more selective ones that are accepting a lower percentage of their population? Yeah, OK.[/quote]
My kid is graduating from Berkeley in a week, so what I’m about to say isn’t coming from a “hater”, but this is one of the dumbest analyses I’ve seen on DCUM.[/quote]

So my kid is also graduating this week with a double major and attended Cal from the East Coast. He is a hustler for sure because he managed to get opportunities. He got into YC, top quant internships and great opportunities on campus. Frankly, I never thought he would do any of this because he was not a tech or startup kid before he got there. His friends are were all high stats and high achieving (his SAT was 1550 plus). He had a choice of a top SLAC but chose to go to Cal against our advice and he has been very fortunate. In retrospect, he was right to choose Berkeley because he happened to be there right during the AI boom and being in that ecosystem has accelerated his growth. [/quote]
