<p>TK, whilst the other UCs have managed to pull off sterling marks from candidates - registering numbers/data almost similar to Berkeley’s, in terms of GPAs, the fact remains that Berkeley is the most selective school amongst all the UCs. </p>
<p>I guess my point really here is, UNDERGRAD SELECTIVITY does not always rely on the undergrad’s high selectivity level. SCHOOL BRAND POWER is more of a product of having world class professors, world-class facilities, world class research, employability of graduates and having access to top grad schools and/or top-paying jobs. Amherst, for example, may have students with better stats than Berkeley students - in general. But I think it would be silly to say that Amherst - as an institution - is more prestigious than Berkeley. </p>
