The rankings are measuring different things.

In terms of academic department quality, which typically stems from top faculty qualifications and research achievements, Berkeley has academic breadth and depth only a handful of top universities can rival.

In terms of undergraduate selectivity and wealth factors, Berkeley ranks lower than elite privates because it is a larger institution with a public service mandate.
