<p>“vc08, it is not a question of repeating rumors; that seems to be your forte. The basic information is available at the websites of the 2 schools, if you care to look for it.”</p>
<p>My forte? what an ignorant statement! how sad that you did not even bother to read my last posts, when I specifically quoted the exact score ranges, percents, etc. of those school’s websites! Just because you did not take the time to call the school to get the FACTS does not mean that others are wrong bc they DID take the time. I love it how some people try to disprove admissions officers, the people actually making the decisions! Think before you act, and you won’t look stupid when responding to others’ statements. Anyway, I believe this is getting away from the OP’s original question…</p>
<p>vistany: haha, i saw your alarm when UNC was referred to as Berkeley. My brother goes to UCB, I’ve grown up a HUGE Cal fan, and I will tell you that UNC is not Cal. The two atmospheres are completely different. Many people, especially adults who have not been to Berkeley since the 70s, if ever, remember it with Mario Savio, and the free speech riots, etc. It is not that way at all anymore. True, it is liberal, but many people base their opinions on how it was historically, not presently. In the case of UNC, I think it is liberal in that it is accepting of a diverse student body, and is a very progressive school. However, don’t get that confused with the picket-protests, ‘peace and love’ feeling of the 70s in Berkeley lol.</p>
