Xiggi - I was directly responding to the bashing of California public schools which is precisely what Berkeley is. And if you read any of my other posts, I responded directly as to whether or not I thought it was worth it to apply to Berkeley. I’ve never brought up rankings or anything of the sort. Yet you seemed to imply that I would throw that in your face. You come across as a very angry person and I don’t see any value in responding to your post at all. To each his own.
