<p>johnwesley, if you’ll take the time to read back, then you’ll know that I did not start the comparison until some Midd fanboys were bashing Berkeley. The only comment I made about the 2 schools was about the prestige, in which, Berkeley, as a powerhouse in research, has an inert advantage, because, obviously, research plays a big role in academic prestige. As a small, LAC, Midd cannot compete a school like Berkeley which has an annual operational budget perhaps 50x larger than that of Midd’s. I was simply talking about school prestige. It could have ended up there. But I guess some Midd fanboys don’t want to hear about it. lol</p>
