<p>Only 7 graduated from Stanford got Noble Prizes vs 25 from UCB.</p>
<p>Eh, both schools are respectable. As much as I would love to rag on Stanfurd, they are both good schools with excellent programs. This isn't really a good measure of superiority, football is another matter :)</p>
<p>Go Bears.</p>
<p>I know. I am an Stanford Alum and my son graduated from Berkeley.
My D is aiming at Berkeley.</p>
<p>Heh, interesting. I agree with Ducky Dodger, but this is also something to point out when Stanfordites assert that Stanford currently has more laureates on its staff than Berkeley. Hah. =p</p>
<p>Kyledavid80, you seem to really contend for Berkeley (while degrading other schools), which I find quite amusing as you have not actually gotten into Berkeley yet. My post is not meant to invoke hostility, it's just the impression I get from your tone. All the best for you this coming admissions process.</p>

<p>"To contend" for Berkeley? You mean, to root for it?</p>

<p>You mean "evoke," right?</p>
<p>I don't see what's odd about rooting for a school you like. To each his own. =)</p>
<p>Oh, and:</p>

<p>I haven't 'degraded' any other schools to my knowledge, not even Stanford. =p</p>
<p>By contend, I mean "To strive in controversy or debate; dispute." And I considered both usages of evoke and invoke, and both seemed relevant in context. Invoke also means "to effect, to implement," however perhaps I used it out of connotation. </p>
<p>And no, there is nothing wrong with rooting for a school you like, I agree. But, now again this is just my impression from some of your posts, you seem to belittle other schools in the process.</p>
<p>Go Bears!</p>
<p>Go Smoot and Mather!</p>
<p>Looks like Smooth isn't teaching phyiscs 7b next semester. Not surprising!</p>
<p>he probably thought to himself, "I have the Nobel Prize. Screw teaching."</p>
<p>By Smooth I meant Smoot :)</p>
<p>"Eh, both schools are respectable. As much as I would love to rag on Stanfurd, they are both good schools with excellent programs."
Yes! I agree. I definitely plan on applying to Stanford for graduate school one day. That is, assuming I make it through the next 2 years unscathed at Cal. :-)</p>
