The "I-can-easily-get-into-Berkeley-but-not-Stanford" feeling?

yeah number is definitely not correlated to number of nobel laureates. Stanford is way more selective than berkeley and should therefore have more students with better talents.

Are we talking about nobel laureates on staff or undergrads who have gone on to win nobel prizes? I believe the statistic is about the former.

I’m not sure why, but I get the feeling that Californians don’t consider Cal an elite school the same way that out-of-staters do.
