I’d like to point out that the three people who spotted this first – you, UCBChemEGrad and myself are trained chemical engineers!</p>

<p>GoBlue,
Speaking of that, I also spotted the following:

But then, he goes,

Interesting, isn’t it?</p>

<p>Tier 2 - Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>What?</p>

24

<p>Sam,
I missed that. It must be the liberal arts education you received at Northwestern.</p>

25

<p>Who’s on first? Three Chem engineers. </p>

<p>Interesting that some believed that garbage deserved a … second look. :)</p>

<p>“I know insecurities when I see them.”</p>

<p>Of course you do Angeal. You’ve already told everyone that you have been on this board for a long time under many different screen names, that you like to quote old acceptance rates that are out of touch with current realities, and that I bash other schools which is what you just exacty did to Michigan. </p>

<p>Once again, Michigan was inserted in the title of this thread by a current Duke student who sought to demean this school, Northwestern, and the general area both are located in. I just responded to the slight.</p>

It’s like the National Enquirer, “Enquiring minds want to know.” I’m sure you’ve rubber-necked too, xiggi. :)</p>

<p>I have a friend teaching in this kind of program as a side job on Saturdays. He’s white and the owner is Korean. The owner would ask one of the kids to take the on-line MBA class for him. Everything was done in cash and apparently, IRS may not even know the business. It’s in Greater Los Angeles too.</p>

<p>The outdated website kinda reminds me of that. It’s probably done by one of the kids there few years ago and hasn’t been changed since then. Notice the poor presentation - “SAT I score” “ED Data” “RD Data” instead of more specific and clear terms like middle 50%, admit rate…etc. For WashU, the “1470” was the number of students enrolled, not admitted. That’s a pretty bonehead mistake but understandable if he/she was just an average high school student. I haven’t even looked at other numbers closely yet.</p>

<p>That is why I mentioned the “second look” as in looking past the first page. Of course, I had to look at what the Berkeley Learning Center might look like. I did expect this:</p>

<p>^^^Classic. LOL</p>

<p>Like I stated prior, it’s a bit amusing to see OP (and other Dookies) so desperate to put down other schools.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So true.</p>

<p>Also, plenty of Korean-Am/Korean students at Northwestern (ranging from the “whitewashed” to those who hang out w/ mostly other Korean students, wearing all black w/ a cigarette on their lips).</p>

<p>Funny how OP takes something as ludicrous as this seriously, but then is awfully quiet on this thread.</p>

<p>But then again, I guess there’s a reason why Duke students make this list.</p>

<p>Speaking of lack of attention to detail, it seems like OP shares something in common w/ the purveyors of the BLC.</p>

<p>NU and Amherst have higher SAT scores than schools like Cornell, UCB, Georgetown, Hopkins, etc.</p>

<p>I can’t recall when NU’s SAT scores/grades were ever lower than Georgetown’s much less UCB - so it’s not like this is merely outdated info., it’s incorrect info.</p>

<p>I guess it’s no coincidence that UCB is ranked in Tier 1 and that the founder of BLC is UCB grad, or that UCLA (which, btw, also has a ridiculously high SAT score range) is ranked in the 2nd Tier while UMichigan and UVA are ranked in the 3rd tier.</p>

<p>The fact that the SAT score range for Amherst/Williams, NU and WUSTL are the same for the likes of UCLA and BC is ridiculous - or the fact that CMU, Emory and Tufts have a range lower than that of UCLA and BC.</p>

<p>Also, Stanford’s range is lower and should be with the grouping of Penn, NU, UChicago, WUSTL, Duke, etc.</p>

<p>Frankly, based on what I see on the BLC site, I wouldn’t put much credence in what they have to say (that is unless one is a person as gullible as OP).</p>

<p>

It’s more “manipulated” (or “manufactured”) info to fit the clientele. See how neatly the ducks all lined up…</p>
