Message from Berkeley Chancellor About #2 Ranking

<p>Rooster08, if you really feel that Stanford Medical School is a better medical school for you than the med-schools at UCSF, WUSL, or JHU, then I guess it's your right to have your own opinion. However, if you are trying to claim that Stanford Medical is better than the other 3, wooh, well, I guess you have the right to have that opinion, but you have to concede that that's not exactly a mainstream opinion. Don't get me wrong, Stanford Medical School is strong, but if you are trying to say that it's stronger than a place like Johns Hopkins Medical, well, I think you will find very few people, even students at Stanford Medical, who would be willing to agree with you.</p>

<p>You're entitled to have your own opinions, but you're not entitled to have your own facts. And the fact is, that the bulk of respected medical-school rankings (not all the rankings, but the bulk) would rank UCSF, WUSL, and JHU Medical over Stanford Med. So if you want to say that Stanford Med is better than those other 3, that's your prerogative, but you have to acknowledge that you hold a minority position.</p>
