Loading ...New York Magazine has profiled 10 of the most impressive “super-applicants”, high school students with the potential to launch high-powered educations. Besides giving each student a photo to say pompous douchebag in their own unique way, the article lists the universities to which they are applying and has an expert consultant judge their chances.
Although many West Coast schools pop up on their lists (Caltech, Harvey Mudd, Stanfurd), UC Berkeley and its UC ilk are nowhere to be found.
Extensive analysis and crossreferencing with US News’s rankings (UC Berkeley ranks as 21) shows that, while rankings don’t mean that much, they now mean absoltely nothing.
Below are what must be safety schools. The number in parentheses is the difference in ranks between UC Berkeley and the school listed. For liberal arts colleges, we use their rankings and compare it to #21.
# Case Western Reserve (-17)
# SUNY - Stony Brook (-77)
# Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (-21)
# Pitzer (-30)
# Beloit (-40)
Everyone needs a safety school. Tell us if UC Berkeley was yours at “clog@dailycal.org”:mailto:clog@dailycal.org.
