<p>Oh, and it’s hilarious that you cited Forbes, Revealed Preference, and WSJ feeder rankings…</p>
<p>NRC and ARWU actually measure academics.</p>
<p>"Cal whomped archrival Stanford University in NRC’s study of the nation’s best graduate programs.</p>
<p>Where U.C. Berkeley had 40 of its programs ranked in the top 5, just 30 of Stanford’s were.</p>
<p>And 14 of Cal’s graduate programs were ranked in first place, whereas just 11 were at the rival across the bay."</p>
<p>In other words: “Was there ever a time when UC Berkeley was academically better than Stanford?”</p>
<p>LOL</p>
