<p>The real battle, between berkeley and USC, will be fought in the undergraduate academic reputation category. Here, berkeley gets a total of 20.7 out of 22.5 percentage points, whereas USC gets 18.45. It should be noted that these perceptions, change VERY slowly too.</p>

<p>here’s the methodology:</p>

<p>while selectivity is a negligible 1.5% of the total ranking. USC’s slight edge (18% to 22%) in selectivity would probably give is a small boost in fractions of a percent. It’s nothing significant.</p>

<p>What? Berkeley has a medical school? that seems odd since searching for the world “berkeley” doesn’t seem to bring up any results here

<p>I agree. we’ve had this argument in the past, with no one agreeing with UCB. It would be a wonderful thing, if a university could have an entire, and wholly independent, university as its med school. But this isn’t the case with Berkeley and UCSF.</p>
