Are there Ivy League passers at Berkeley?

<p>

Berkeley’s big bragging point is its graduate rankings. It’s not in the top 5 or even 10 in terms of selectivity, endowment per students, graduate placement, class sizes, or most other metrics. </p>

<p>In other words, Berkeley brags about this:
[National</a> rankings & faculty honors - UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://berkeley.edu/about/rank.shtml]National”>http://berkeley.edu/about/rank.shtml)</p>

<p>So, clearly Berkeley likes rankings. OK. What do those rankings tell us about Cornell?</p>

<p>NRC: All Scores

  1. Stanford
  2. Berkeley
  3. Michigan
  4. Cornell</p>

<p>NRC: Non-zero Scores

  1. MIT
  2. Berkeley
  3. Harvard
  4. Princeton
  5. Caltech
  6. Stanford
  7. Chicago
  8. Yale
  9. Cornell</p>

<p>NRC: Averaged

  1. Berkeley
  2. Stanford
  3. Cornell
  4. Harvard & Michigan </p>

<p>Cornell is a top 10 university by any measure and has a strong claim to top 5 status. Unless you care to cite factors in which Berkeley fares equally poorly (or worse), there’s no need to bash poor Cornell. ;)</p>
