I see your profile says "Location: SoCal," which makes clear that a lot of people you know get in-state tuition rates at Berkeley. You can see in a post above that I have friends who have advised me that Berkeley is a great place for undergraduate study of certain subjects, but as an out-of-stater I can think of a LOT of colleges that would be sufficiently less expensive than Berkeley's usual price for out-of-state students that students admitted to other highly desired colleges might prefer them to Berkeley. The California view of the world is not the only view out there, and the revealed preferences working paper makes clear that there are regional differences in which colleges are preferred to which other colleges, which in some cases appear to be related to issues of price.
