<p>Haha, Berkeley. This same question got directed toward Stanford on its forum, I scroll down to the “similar threads” and saw this one. How do you have 165 posts of this? The Stanford thread essentially consisted of “Duh” with a few anecdotes. For this question, anecdotes are sufficient. Just one answers the question. Yes, there are people who turned down the ivy league at Berkley. See, isn’t that simple?</p>
