<p>I had Goosebumps watching it and I’m not even admitted at Cal-Haas yet. :lol:</p>

<p>Here’s one for Berkeley’s crowd:

<p>Hahaahaha…Berkley.</p>

<p>UGGGGGH! I love UC Berkeley so much. Hope I get in. :&lt;/p>

<p>The stats are a little different now – 61% of the classes are under 20, and 14% are over 50 (funnily enough, the exact same as MIT); only about 6% are over 100, and all of those are supplemented with small discussions.</p>

<p>The ethnic proportions are wrong in “The Crowd” (unless that’s just a random sampling, or something).</p>

<p>The size is also a little off in the intro one.</p>

<p>At any rate, great videos.</p>

<p>^^ as has been said many times, there’s a wide range of people at Berkeley–and at any university.</p>

<p>The one thing I’m very much attracted to Berkeley aside from its being a super powerhouse in academics is actually its diverse student population. I may be an elitist most of the times, but I’d also love to interact with people coming from different backgrounds. That would help me prepare more for the real world.</p>

7

<p>^^ agreed. Berkeley is diverse in many ways – ethnic, cultural, sexual, religious, etc.</p>

8

<p>Did it say that only 10 percent of the student body comes from outside the state of California? That’s its own kind of diversity problem I would think.</p>

9

<p>For undergrads, yeah, that’s about right. Regardless, it still enrolls students from all 50 states (+ DC) and, I think, over 100 countries. Plus, CA is pretty geographically diverse in itself (given its size) + is full of diversity. So Berkeley wins anyway. =p</p>

<p>“Did it say that only 10 percent of the student body comes from outside the state of California? That’s its own kind of diversity problem I would think.”</p>

<p>That is because the UCs are California public schools. They want CA kids to go there, because that’s who the schools are intended for. Their parents pay taxes to support the UCs, so their kids have a higher chance of getting in and cheaper tuition.</p>

11

<p>California residents are international in nature. that’s actually a no-brainer.</p>

12

<p>^^^ Diverse sexually? hahahaha more than 2 sexes?</p>

13

<p>^^ That part I’m not so sure. LoL…</p>
