UC schools are losing their money. Also, UC Berkeley is four or five times bigger than Wash U. So it depends on what you're looking for. If your'e out of state, I would definitely say Wash U.

If you think you'll ever consider doing things aboard, go to UCB. Berkeley is the most internationally prestigious school in the world (even more so than Harvard, MIT, and Oxford.) I don't have the link to the thread right now.

If you're instate (or money is any sort of issue), I would go to berkeley. I wouldn't believe that fact that berk is internationally more well-known than Harvard and what not. You should just look at the concrete facts: which school is better for your intended major (the academics), money/financial aid, and the overall atmosphere of the campus. If you're eventhinking about going premed, you should go to washu (if money isn't an issue). Berk doesn't have a good med school acceptance rate.
