<p>I’m perplexed at why berkeley is rated so lowly. when I look at lists for engineering (#3), business (#3), biology (#4), , et al, berkeley is rated so highly. Then why is it’s overall ranking so low (#20)? I don’t get in, in practical fields it’s ranked top 5. Is it because of the reputedly impersonal nature of the college with little specialized attention? Whatever it is, I think that US news exhibits a bias in favor of liberal arts colleges. This can also be seen in the relatively low ranking of MIt on the list. </p>
