It’s important to note that a large number of students don’t answer these surveys. You can see that for chemistry in 2015, only 18/61 graduating students responded.

I would say that Berkeley’s biggest strength is in getting students into top Ph.D. programs. This is especially true in the College of Chemistry. I majored in chemical engineering (graduated a few years ago), but I got into every Ph.D. program I applied to – MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Princeton, etc. I had classmates who majored in chemistry that are now at Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, and others.

The Berkeley undergraduate curriculum is rigorous and difficult, but there is no better place if a Ph.D. is your ultimate goal.
