Not a terrible ranking, though UCLA seems high.


#1 Public 8 or 9 years in a row, more applications than any other school (public or private), and top rankings in a blizzard of key areas of evaluation.

#15 seems reasonable.


I guess in my head I'm always subconsciously ranking by student quality.


Which means Berkeley should be the highest public by a mile. And Hopkins is not top 10, and falls below Berkeley. And MIT is first. And Cornell goes back to being the bottom ivy, around 15-16 overall.


what? the average berkeley student is weak compared to hopkins and cornell

The average Hopkins student would get eaten alive at Berkeley.


maybe by homeless. hopkins academics are no joke. but then again, that’s why so many from california choose to leave berkeley to out of state including hopkins

What are you talking about? Berkeley is next to THE tech hotspot. What hopkins kid is eager to stay in Baltimore?



give it a rest. there are more hopkins alum per capita in fang than berkeley.

Berkeley also has how many times the amount of academic programs and offerings as hopkins...?


how many of your students graduate in 4 years? what’s your average class size?
average salary?

all higher at hopkins. nice job trying to do higher perception by association however. no one bats their eye when hopkins is top 10 but berkeley this high is off

I didn't even go to Berkeley, but this is such a ridiculous point. One of these schools represents a diverse swathe of people economically, racially, and has a mission of educating the students of an entire state. Of course the average Hopkins student graduates well in 4 years-they have many less students who are from low income backgrounds and weaker academic backgrounds accordingly so. That does not mean the students at Berkeley are worse, but they couldn't receive the same elite education as the people at Hopkins until university. Berkeley has always been the best public university and is one of the most known American institutions internationally, along with an incredible faculty line up and some of the best research in the world. Cool it with the blatant classism.

It is one of the best universities you can go to as an advanced student. The grad courses you can take as an undergrad are not comparable for a majority of institutions.
