Talk about a meaningless ranking for someone considering undergraduate work[/quote]

Hardly meaningless. It just proves, once again, that Berkeley and Michigan are a cut above the rest of the nation’s publics. [/quote]

Overall perhaps, but I think this was posted to show UT is in a similar category to UCLA.  I agree that graduate programs are not an indicator of quality of the undergraduate program, though.[/quote]

Perhaps UCLA is a bit over ranked? [/quote]

UCLA benefits in USNWR ranking criteria from having high resource ratings for a public.  But this all really comes from its medical school, which doesn't have a single undergraduate enrolled in it and has no real benefit to the undergraduate program in my view.  Berkeley does not have a medical school and is ranked considerably lower in resources.  If these UCLA resources are really a benefit at the undergraduate level, it certainly isn't apparent.  UCLA ranks low even for a public in the Niche ratings of professor availability, interest, etc., and ease of getting required classes.  It is actually slightly lower than Berkeley in these ratings, which doesn't make sense if UCLA really has all these additional resources.  Both are relatively low in these ratings despite their high rankings in USNWR.   Does having a medical school help pre-med students?  UCLA's published pre-med medical school admission percentages are only slightly above the national average and slightly below Berkeley.  Neither one has what could be termed a high rate.   [/quote]
