<p>Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am facing the same dilemna, trying to choose between these two schools for philosophy. </p>
<p>“UCLA is more analytical than Berkeley. Berkeley tends to be more broad and conver more subjects and philosophers.”
“UCLA will train you to be meticulous thinkers. Period. You will notice differences where before, in your judgment, none existed”
Can anyone confirm these statements? If this is true then UCLA truly does seem like a better match for my purposes, which is to attend a top law school, and if that is the type of education the UCLA undergrad program offers then it sounds like a perfect match for me. But does this mean that Cal doesn’t teach you how to be analytic and “meticulous thinkers” I would have thought that a school like Cal would do at least that much if not more.</p>
