What I meant was that I don’t think one school or another is better than the other, but I can see how someone could justify the way they’re spaced. Berkeley is, after all, the original flagship of the UC and oldest one too (big factor in prestige), and one would logically assume that more of UC’s resources are directed there, something that may have impacted the rankings. At any rate, I don’t think LA should really care about the rankings all that much to warrant going out and fundraising. That would just show how much the US News has taken over college decisions. The people that spend their time determining the worth of a school based solely on rank should have “fun” at their schools, while the people that realize that there is life beyond the rank and choose a school that they would fit into should enjoy theirs.
