Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 2682232, member: 3609"] The big thing is the demand to get into them (with the accompanying lower admissions rate) and that's a big factor in the USN&WR rankings along with the lower price tag than a private school. UCLA and Berzerkley have the pick of those who don't go to USC-w and Stanford. And when you're talking about a geographic area running from South Carolina to just south of Boston, you've got a lot of really good students to choose from. One interesting point about the application process to all the UC schools, you have to choose a major coming out of HS and apply to that specific department rather than to the school as a whole.
