I don’t know, but my guess would be that you are baseing this statement on percentages, which hurts a big school like Cal because, as I’ve said, our bottom 20 percent of students are not as strong as the bottom 20th of our peer schools. That said, I believe that Cal undergrads produce more Phds than any other school in the country, even if they don’t send as many kids, percentage wise, to grad school.



The problem isn’t percents. It’s the fact that a Cal student with a 3.8 and the same LSAT will, if the career center stats are accurate, get passed over in favor of a top 15 undergrad applicant. Especially when you consider the grade inflation rampant at many of the privates, this is troubling.
