<p>Kyle…read my posts FULLY. I don’t think Berkeley is better…I said in as many words that a lot of its students are average ACADEMICALLY.</p>
<p>It’s you who needs to get thinking…every time I say some more ACADEMIC students don’t go to Stanford, you seem to say I’m demeaning the others. People are admitted for many other (good!) reasons, my posts in this thread are specifically to those who were just grade-getters…meant to be friendly encouragement.</p>
<p>Get your head straight, saying person is more academic ain’t a compliment…it’s just an observation. Note that if I believed academic = greater, I’d say that those who end up as professors at Stanford or Berkeley in distinguished departments are the GREATEST people of all time. Not so…some less academic EE and CS students may go on and start a great company. </p>
<p>My point in this forum is that those who were rejected from STanford, and were just plain ol’ good students will find haven at Cal, likely, as there are plenty in that boat. </p>
<p>You really should actually read my posts. I have complimented at least one person who was accepted to Stanford on his/her perspective.</p>
