For Asian Americans, Berkeley has had a much better track in developing influencial leaders than Stanfurd.

Norman Mineta, Gene Kan, John Cho, Will Yun Lee, etc… they all went to Berkeley for undergraduate.

For me personally, when I look back, I realize that the “Berkeley Experience” of having no mental restrictions on my development as an Asian American, fostering my intellectual, spiritual, personal growth in the Berkeley environment did much more for me than me spending my most impressionable years at Stanfurd would have done for me.

Stanfurd does not have a track record of successful Asian Americans who are visible leaders in society. Berkeley does. And I personally experienced first hand the “Berkeley Experience” that helped me tremendously. This is something I realized several years after I started at Cal.
