beyphy stated in another thread:

“wrt the OP, none of the schools you listed would be considered ‘top publics’ the top publics mirror the decent, but not amazing privates. In UCLA’s range are USC and CMU; in Cal’s range are USC and maybe Rice, for example. But neither of them is in the range of Caltech or Columbia for example.”

In this thread he states:

“But academia is highly superficial, and in general it won’t be looked great if you go to rutgers.”

So can I just assume beyphy is an academician? lol

Actually I wouldn’t say academia is highly superficial at all. The PA scores at USNWR indicate to me that academia is well aware of which schools are the tops in academics. Berkeley, Michigan, and other top publics fare very well there. It’s only those people who are completely obsessed with the rankings at USNWR who feel differently.
