For some reason the post I made yesterday was deleted (as if it never existed - post count went down 1 too).

Anyway, thanks to everyone for all your help. It looks like Berkeley wins here. Most of you have been extremely helpful and insightful and I’m glad you were able to help.

Another question I have for students or experts of both UCB and UMich is how are the grading curves? I spent the last 3 years at a VERY competetive high school with cutthroat competition. I’m open to new challenges but I don’t think I can take the same kind of academic environment for four years - that is, work hard for little payoff (non-correlating work to grade ratio or lower gpa).
