<p>Here’s one: Cal saves trees by living in them. Stanfurd saves them by not mailing reject letters. How tasteless.</p>
<p>berkeley is not sending out rejection letters this year…</p>
<p>Then that’s just Stanford copying another one of Berkeley’s ideas!</p>
<p>Stanford reject here too, I say we all go to Cal and take our our bitter frustration at Stanford during the sports events :)</p>
<p>How about someone make a “101 reasons to attend Berkeley” thread?</p>
<p>lol why not you do it? <em>wink</em></p>
<p>I am loving this post and I didn’t even apply to Stanford!</p>
<p>Stanford has a lame policy on foreign languages. If it isn’t European or East Asian, you need to petition for it to be taught every quarter.</p>
<p>^^^ anon5524485 brings up another good point: there on the quarter system! Their midterms never end and they get out for summer really, really late!</p>
<p>kyledavid how did you find out the acceptance rate was 21 percent…did they say how many they admitted this year?</p>
<p>^ It better be 21% or under because supposedly that’s USC’s admission rate this year and we’ll never hear the end of it from the Condoms.</p>
<p>I read they accepted 10,400 students. They had 48,418 applicants, so that’d be 21%.</p>
<p>^ Do you have a link?</p>
<p>That’s what I’m trying to find–someone had posted a quote to me, but hadn’t provided a link. I can’t seem to find it by google, so I’m going to ask the person where she got it.</p>
<p>I’ve looked pretty much everywhere and haven’t been able to find it. If they admitted 10,400 I’m somewhat surprised they increased it by 200 from last year and I had heard too many matriculated for fall 07. You would think they’d decrease the amount they admit because instate tuition looks good when the economy is shaky right now.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Then again, maybe they’re expecting a lower yield due to the insanely competitive admissions this year. Just look at UCLA: it admitted about 13,000 students, even though last year it admitted under 12,000 and had over-enrollment.</p>
<p>I have a song about UC Berkeley > Stanford 
[UC Berkeley Overtones - Downtown (Stanford)] PM me if you want it!</p>
<p>When you’re in high school you have only one goal, and that’s to go to school at Berkeley
If you were preppy you were probably rejected redirected to Stanford</p>
<p>And so you went expecting to discover hidden knowledge
But suddenly you found out Stanford’s not a real college
It’s a farm</p>
<p>There you can drop a class anytime
Even the day of the final, leave your troubles behind, you’re at</p>
<p>Stanford – you’ll never get a B
Stanford – they tutor you frequently
Stanford – I bet you regret your choice now</p>
<p>Soon you’re a sophomore and you get to move in at the fraternity (like, wow – Stanford)
You’ve learned what a keg is, and you’ve started to fit in a bit socially at Stanford</p>
<p>You hang out with your buddies – Skippy, Big Tab, Iff, and Mo (?)
And soon you find your GPA is dropping down below – a three-point-nine</p>
<p>Mommy and Daddy say that things are okay
They say they’re building a library, you just have to pay, you’re at
Stanford – Dad was football king
Stanford – Great-grandfather built the thing
Stanford – It wasn’t your choice anyhow
It’s your third year in college and it’s time to get serious; stop being a fool at, Stanford</p>
<p>Money won’t make it if you plan to get into a good graduate school like, Berkeley
To raise your grade point average you signed up for auto-shop
So you can fix your BMW if it should stop (we’re out of gas)</p>
<p>It’s Friday night and you feel like a dud
There’s a big party in Berkeley, but you’re stuck in the mud, where else?
Stanford – Middle of nowhere
Stanford – You can’t get out of there
Stanford – Don’t you really regret your choice now?</p>
<p>At last you’re a senior and you start to evaluate your last four years at, Stanford
You’ve learned how to dress and how to choose the appropriate imported beer at, Stanford
But soon you’ll have to trade in all those preppy clothes for jeans
It’s been four years and still you don’t know what the cardinal means (It’s like the Pope)</p>
<p>You wonder if Stanford’s taught ya how to survive
The independence and challenge of a school that’s alive, it’s called</p>
<p>Berkeley – You’ll never make it there
Berkeley – Donate your money where
Berkeley – Wear red only if you dare
Berkeley – You’ll have to grow your hair
Berkeley – Now it’ll be “Go Bears!”
Stanford – Don’t you regret your choice
Stanford – I said don’t you regret your choice now~
Go bears, go bears, go bears, ooooo~~</p>
<p>that song is so cute :)</p>
<p>I was admitted to both schools and went to Cal’s forum to see if it could impress me. Quite frankly, you guys repulse me. Why would you need to elevate yourselves by putting down another school?
They’re both great schools, why would you need to denigrate the quality of the other school so you can “feel better about yourselves.” And most of your statements are based on bitter, unfounded impressions. I don’t see this atmosphere at Stanford.
When a friend of mine visited both schools, he noticed that Cal’s tour guide kept on taking jabs on Stanford, while Stanford’s tour guide did not even acknowledge the competition. Talk about Cal’s inferiority complex…Grow up guys.</p>
