<p>Can someone post more information about the Engineering
(/is it Science?) undergraduate program with 3 yrs in UCB
and the fourth year at Stanford, Please?</p>
<p>How does the application process work (apps to UCB/Stanford...)
and is there a reverse version 3 yrs at Stanford and 4th at Berkeley?</p>
<p>Do you apply as an incoming HS Senior or later during the UCB sophomore
year or later?</p>
<p>bump (10 char)</p>
<p>I have never of this</p>
<p>i've never heard of this either</p>
<p>I would also like somebody to post information about this because, just like the last 2 posters, I have never heard of such a thing.</p>
<p>never hear of this but interested</p>
<p>I've never heard this mentioned, either. And it really doesn't make sense to me. Why would the colleges arrange for this? I don't see the advantages, and I see many disadvantages.</p>
<p>It is NOT an arranged/combined program!</p>
<p>The 3yr Berkeley/1yr Stanford thing is what a few of my over-achieving friends at Berkeley have done on their own. </p>
<p>MOST Berkeley engineers who take the Berkeley/Stanford route graduate in 4 years, and then do an MS at Stanford.</p>
<p>So in essence, they transfer?</p>
<p>No, they don't transfer. They graduate Berkeley and start the Stanford MS right afterwards.....in essence they get a Berkeley BS and Stanford MS BEFORE they start working in industry. It's a pretty common thing to do among Berkeley engineers.......I know MANY who have done this.</p>
<p>So if that's the case, there's nothing very special about it. Going to Berkeley for undergrad and Stanford for grad school - that's what you call it. Happens all the time.</p>
<p>haha, I never said it was anything special. I said something along the lines of ".......if the Stanford name means so much to you, graduate Berkeley with a BS and go to Stanford for an MS..........", and that it's pretty common.</p>

<p>I suppose it all depends on one's personal definition of 'pretty common'. </p>
<p>Check out the plethora of graduate schools that Berkeley engineers attend, at the tail end of each of the following links. Sure, Stanford shows up. But so do places like San Jose State and UCDavis.</p>

<p>What does that fact that someone from Cal went to grad school at San Jose St. have to do with anything? They also end up at MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Duke and Harvard. You're really grasping at straws here, sakky.</p>
<p>It's not about raw numbers, it's about proportions. When stacked up against the likes of HYPSMC, Berkeley sends a comparatively laughable proportion of its undergrads to top grad programs.</p>
<p>^^^ yeah, agreed. sakky!!! why are you being so critical of berk?
Every school has its own low tails... you shouldn't focus on the negative stuffs too much</p>
<p>Ive known so many suceesful berk eng. grads all around the globe. Just to name a few locals:</p>
<ul>
<li>Professor Pines, Department Chair of Aerospace Engineering at UMCP has a BSME degree from Berkeley, and a PhD in ME from MIT.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.enae.umd.edu/facstaff/chair.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.enae.umd.edu/facstaff/chair.html</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Professor Yu, Professor of Aerospace Engineering Dept at UMCP has a BS and a PhD in ME from Berkeley.</li>
</ul>

<p>Ive also seen so many suceesful berk grads in almost all majors from humanities to law, buz.....</p>
<p>Dobby, can you please post these laughable numbers that you speak of?</p>
<p>I've seen it with my own eyes in many departments across campus. I don't have numbers right now, although they do exist - much to Berkeley's misfortune.</p>
<p>Formerlyabcdefgh, sakky et al thank you for your posts! :)</p>
<p>How does one go about graduating in 3 yrs (in Engineering)
....take courses each summer/ more courses in Freshman/Sophomore
/Junior years....do they 'test out' of prereqs or petition the department
or ....</p>

<p>And how exactly is simply presenting the data 'grasping at straws'? I am simply saying that Berkeley students end up at a wide variety of graduate schools, from top places to no-name places.</p>
<p>I would contend that * you * are the one grasping at straws here.</p>
