Different programs have different views as to inbreeding. If by graduate school you mean academic graduate school and no professional school, most humanities departments tend to advise their kids to go elsewhere. If you’re talking about law, business, or med, there is usually not inbreeding, so it’s not an issue. I’m not sure how bio works.



Because of the tendencies of public schools to not accept undergrads into their graduate programs will I be likely to end up graduating from Berkeley and going to a graduate school with a department ranked lower than the department I was exposed to at Berkeley?



Where’d you read about this tendency? At a place like Berkeley, many kids don’t get into the graduate prorams (as in, academic) because they are so very competitive or for other reasons. Some do, obviously.
