<p>Berkeley=Stanford=UCLA>UCSD>UCSB=USC>UCI=UCD>UCSC=UCR</p>
<p>LAC's (+Caltech)</p>
<p>Caltech=HMC>Pomona>Claremont=Occidental>Redland>Chapman</p>
<p>claremont = occidental? somehow i got the impression claremont is a lot better than oxy.</p>
<p>Stanford Alum..I almost agree with your UC list...here is my run down:</p>
<p>Stanford=UCB=UCLA>UCSD>UCI=UCD=UCSB>UCSD>UCR...UCM?</p>
<p>UCI, UCD and UCSB are all, very , very similar in ratings, reviews and entrance stats.</p>
<p>Really? I always placed Davis right below San Diego and above UCI and UCSB. Academics are great, but the area doesn't look that hot. I know someone who goes there that is MIT material, when he wants to be.</p>
<p>It's not that UCD has declined in quality, it's that UCI and UCSB have gotten better in recent years, especially UCI. </p>
<p>And rankings like these are really only somewhat helpful...each person has their own experience at each campus. Some people swear UCLA is the best thing ever, and others hated it.</p>
<p>God I HATE UCLA.</p>
<p>I know it is irrational, but I really do.</p>
<p>Maybe it's because I live so close to the school and that is all anyone talks about...there and USC...I detest them both.</p>
<p>Part of me wants to get into UCB just so I can have my own rivalry with UCLA...after all, what is the university experience without some kind of school rivalry...irrational to the hilt! </p>
<h2>Anyone else?</h2>
<p>Wow sidewinder..maybe next time you can post a real thought you troll.</p>
<p>Beat it.</p>
<p>"Stanford=UCB=UCLA>UCSD>UCI=UCD=UCSB>UCSD>UCR...UCM?"</p>
<p>Oh you guys. Let's not get delusional here. Stanford is in a league apart from the UCs. That is just self-evident.</p>
<p>All right, this is it. Let's not get big heads, here, people.
The "no disputes" ranking:</p>
<p>(Stanford / Caltech) > (UCB / UCLA) > UCSD > (UCD / UCSB / UCI) > (UCSC / UCR) > UCM</p>

Is that the only way you can respond to an argument.......by making false claims and slandering your opponent? I never went to a community college, and I did in fact graduate from UCLA. . </p>
<p>ubermensch, we proved a long time ago in this thread that all your info is false and that you're just a stanford troll. Why keep trying? </p>

Posts: 171 Before anybody blasts me, I don't go to any of the schools mentioned above. I go to City College of San Francisco and I want to transfer into one of the ivies, Stanford, or MIT if I can. I am guaranteed admission to Berkeley with my 4.0 GPA so I don't have to worry about "aiming too high" and ending up nowhere. But the the fact that so many other people I know have 3.5 GPA's and guaranteed admission to Berkeley makes me think that it is unfair that I worked so hard to get 4.0 only to end up at the same school with people who didn't work that hard. Tons of people get into Berkeley from here (who were straight C students in high school) so it sort of reduces the value of admission.</p>
<p>Coto scores a knockout!</p>
<p>Anyways...I really think Stanford is overrated...but then again, what the hell do I know? I guess the school just doesn't appeal to me so I feel it's overrated. I have no way to prove it, and I seriously doubt anyone else does either...what Stanford does have is cache. </p>
<p>Then again, so do UCLA and UCB.</p>
<p>Do all these Stanford grads really believe some potential employer is looking at resumes, and sees UCLA, UCB... OH WOW STANFORD!!! Hardly. </p>
<p>In the final analysis, these schools are so similar in reputation, spending and faculty...who can truly say which is the best?</p>
<p>Stanford is certainly the hardest to get into. As a school it's no better than Berkeley or LA, but the student population is more diversely talented. When they enter college, that is. They're just early bloomers who started out high school with talents and interests. I would still rank it above the UC's, though, but UCB and UCLA are definitely more bang for the buck.</p>

<p>i think the quality of education is the same at ucb, ucla, and stanford...but i think the quality of life at stanford is the best and i used to be a fan of all these schools. ucb's competitiveness gets realy ugly and ucla is too crowded. of course, stanford has its negatives like the lack of a variety of food....but neways, i think in terms of quality of life stanford>ucla>ucb</p>
<p>And this is about Gutrade</p>

Posts: 14 Again, if you want to take the opinon of a community college kid (ubermensh) and a Stanford reject (Gutrade), then by all means do so, but just consider your source. These kids sure do talk alot of crap for a couple of dudes who've never steped foot inside a university.</p>
<p>I may not have gotten into Stanford early action but I am a Yale admit (likely letter). It's funny how you guys want to judge me based on the colleges I was accepted/rejected to. Yale is so much better than UCLA because we don't accept just any loser on the street. Plus you will all work for us. So that makes me better than you right?</p>
<p>Yale/Stanford/Harvard/Princeton are just too good to be compared to a UC. You guys are only at a UC school cause you were rejected from HYPS. In fact, you cannot even use the argument that some kids chose a UC because of affordibility reasons. HYPS give full rides to people who are low income, whereas the UC's do not. So suck on that.</p>
<p>Wow Gut, you sure told us. Good thing you are going to Yale..you can put that super special brain to work for an Ivy League school. By the way, I didn't know Yale offered short yellow bus service...congrats, that's real progress buddy. Don't forget your helmet and drool cup. ;)</p>
<p>Getting a Yale degree doesn't automatically mean you'll make in life. It's characater and attitude as well.</p>
<p>You kids crack me up with these petty rivalries. LOL food chain...The best university for any given student or for any recruiter for business or grad school admissions officer is the one that fits the nicest to their need. Any of the schools mentioned can give an excellent education to the right person and at any of these schools there will be students who flunk out, drop out, or trivialize their opportunity. Going to a great school isn't what makes a person great.</p>
<p>Mr. B ... perhaps you should save you condescension and pontification for your real children. Don't stereotype people in here as children, I ask the question: Who are you? You label the rivalries as petty, I say it is competitiveness that has driven countries like the US to push harder and go farther...not all rivalry is healthy, but that doesn't mean it is all without merit.</p>
<p>Competing often tests a students mettle and thus can lead that person to greatness. So why don't you keep your judgmental rhetoric to yourself and let students do as they always have - compete.</p>
