<p>baba, you have made so many contradictory and incorrect statements. First, you claimed that Stanford has 10-15% international students in its student body, which would be incredibly high compared to other elite institutions, then say that it is not an international university. </p>
<p>In fact, Stanford has 6% international students, half of what you had previously claimed. </p>
<p>I agree that Stanford accepts far more in-state applicants than its peer institutions, which could be perceived in a negative manner. However, if you comapre the diversity of Stanford's student body with peer institutions, then Stanford is clearly superrior. Harvard has 61% white students, whilst Stanford enrolls only 44%.</p>
<p>Let's face it guys. California is the best state in the nation. It's where the center of culture is. It's where the money is. It's where the jobs are. </p>
<p>California is also the most populous state in the nation. If you take geographic area and population density into question, Stanford's 40 percent in-state population is perfectly normal. Besides, baba can claim all he wants that Stanford is a regional school. It won't change the fact that the acronym is HYPS and that Stanford is clearly TOO prestigious. If there's any problem with Stanford it's that it has TOO much prestige like Harvard and Yale. There's more of a danger of it being overrated and not being able to live up to its reputation than there is of it being perceived as regional and unprestigious. So HYPS have nothing to worry about when it comes to prestige. It's like accusing Bill Gates of being poor or Einstein of being a moron.</p>
<p>Which university has won more most prestigious rewards? Stanford!
which university has more faculty members in most prestigious organizations? Stanford!</p>
<p>Let's compare Stanford and Yale head to head in this matter.
Nobel prize: Stanford (16), YAle (5)
National medal of science: Stanford (30), Yale (8)
Wolf prize: Stanford (7), Yale (2)
NSF Waterman prise: Stanford (4), Yale (1)
membership in national academy of science: Stanford (125), YAle (54)
membership in national academy of engineering: Stanford (86), YAle (6)
membership in national institute of medicine: Stanford (50+), YAle (30+)</p>
<p>So in any of these most prestigious thingy, Yale is far far behind. But I admit Yale is equally presigious in US. It is not the case internationally though, especially in academia.</p>
<p>Simply put, you are an idiot. And a childish, insecure one at that.</p>
<p>1) Your statistics and logic are all wrong.</p>
<p>2) Your posts are filled with incorrect statements that are apparently based on your pre-existing biases.</p>
<p>3) "univercity [sic] of california at Palo Alto" ... by that incoherent logic, yale = "university of new haven" and penn = well, "univercity of Pennsylvania."</p>
<p>Now run along and stick your head in the sand.</p>
<p>So It is not the case that Berkely is better than Stanford in these categories. Berkley does won most Wolf prizes, Stanford still won 2nd most Wolf prizes in the whole world. </p>
<p>I have no problems to admit Berkeley's faculty are as good as Stanford's. In fact, Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Berkeley have the most distiguished faculty in US. Caltech and Princeton follow closely or are just as good, but they are too small. Yale trails far behind in this regard.</p>
<p>what would call a CA school with 45% CA or 60% PAC-10 enrollment. A regional ivy for west coast just like Northwestern for Midwest. better yet a UC campus for rich ones. UCPA</p>
<p>Different schools use different methods for summary. The websites I listed are OFFICIAL WEBSITES, which use the same methods for summary. Thus they are more reliable.</p>
<p>No matter what, Yale does not look good though. It is for sure that Yale's faculty is less distinguished than Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, and the like.</p>
<p>Berkeley is far superior institution and better teachings. no grade inflation like Pton and some local CA jock school which shares name with Notredame in football.UCPA</p>
<p>honestly folks all schools are.
Harvrad: old name, lousy life, good for independent types
Yale: old name, good for LA/Sc/UG Law Good campus life bad sarroundings
Pton: Good UG education, name,little white shoe eating clubs etc. Good campus, no gradute other than Sc/Arts/eng.
Stanford: Solid regional WestCoast Ivy, Great in eng, Good gradute programs, 50%plus from West Coast.
Michigan: one the most underated school, solid education, low fees, top10 eng,med,law business.
Penn: Old name, great life, UG/Gradute schools in Law,Med,Bus. Needs to bring up eng.,
MIT: the place for Tech in this world
UCB: Ivy quality faculty, great in ENG/Sciencess, lacks medschool and top quality bus/law.
CalTech: want to do PhD, you are in.
Northwestern: same as StanF but MWest.
JHU: great Bio/Med #1` Teaching wise one of the best in letting each student get his/her best.</p>
<p>Berkeley is far superior institution and better teachings. no grade inflation like Pton and some local CA jock school which shares name with Notredame in football.UCPA</p>
<p>The best school for Nobel Prize winners has got to be Caltech. They have 16 Nobels and a student body that's the size of a small high school! If you take Nobel Prize per student ratio into account, they beat Harvard, Stanford, and MIT hands down.</p>
<p>I love all you stanfurdians running around like beheaded chickens because someone comes to your little enclave and F's with you. Its good. Most of you need to get checked every once in a while to remind you that you're not quite as cool as you think you are.</p>
