Berkeley > MIT & Stanford

[xiggi]

<p>

I would say it’s not uncommon for an MIT/Stanford admit to be denied OOS from Cal. Heck, look through this year’s acceptance threads and you’ll find people admitted to Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, Amherst, etc., but rejected from Cal/UCLA, even IN STATE! So what’s the argument about?

</p>

<p>The argument is that those stories are extremely … uncommon. </p>

<p>Lots of people admitted at MIT or Stanford but rejected at Berkeley? That is simply a whole heap of baloney! </p>

<p>It might help to figure out the numbers of students who were cross-admitted at the three or at two of the schools to understand why this is such … a fantastic story.</p>
