<p>Schools such as Vandy or WashU have done an excellent job of moving out of their core geographic area and targeting good students in geographic areas outside their own backyard. To what extent does Berkeley do that to raise its profile, I don’t know. Perhaps it’s hampered (quite rightly) because what California taxpayer wants his tax dollars to go to promote a California school to non-Californians. But that’s a natural “limiter” on how wide Berkeley’s reach is in the US that private schools don’t have. And make no mistake about it, RML - no matter how large Berkeley looms in California (and in Asia), it just doesn’t loom all the large in a lot of other areas of the US. WHICH IS NOT A SLAM, but an observation.</p>
