伯克利算名校么……？

绝对一流.你没听说过伯克利可能是因为被有关排名的报道或新闻误导了.不错,在美国本科的排名中,伯克利只能被排在20或21名,这是因为诸如录取率\毕业率\师生比率等因素都是在衡量的标准之内,而这些伯克利规模公立学校当然就比不上那些相对来说小而精的一流私立学校了.但是,如果从学术水平和质量的角度讲,全世界能排在伯克利之上的名校也就是哈佛,这也就是为什么在最新的2010世界500强中伯克利位于第二.而且,与哈佛相比,伯克利无论在人文科学/社会科学/自然科学,还是在工程技术/生命科学等各个领域都是属于世界顶级水平,但哈佛的工程技术却是排不上名的.如果你不信,请看一看下面的数据.Top Ten Universities - Natural Science1.

Australian National University (Australia)然后,你再在看一看这里,就知道伯克利有多牛,那些美国国家科学院的院士,国家工程院的院士等牛人在伯克利有多少.Berkeley's current faculty includes 227 American Academy of Arts and Sciences Fellows, 2 Fields Medal winners, 83 Fulbright Scholars, 139 Guggenheim Fellows, 87 members of the National Academy of Engineering, 132 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 8 Nobel Prize winners, 3 Pulitzer Prize winners, 84 Sloan Fellows, 7 Wolf Prize winners and 1 Pritzker Prize winner. 65 Nobel Laureates have been affiliated with the university as faculty, alumni or researchers, the sixth most of any university in the world.UC Berkeley is particularly notable for its mathematics department, which is associated with advances in the fields of algebraic geometry, differential geometry, operator algebras, functional analysis and mathematical logic. Current faculty include Fields Medalists Vaughan Jones, Richard Borcherds and Stephen Smale, Ken Ribet, William Arveson, Robin Hartshorne, Theodore Slaman W. Hugh Woodin, John Steel, Robion Kirby, Marina Ratner and David Eisenbud. The nearby Mathematical Sciences Research Institute provides a host of visiting mathematicians."感觉它同北大清华差不多"?10个北大加上10个清华还不及伯克利的一半!"这个大学名气没那么大，是不是会好进一些？" 如果你是加州的高中毕业生,回答是Yes,因为它作为位于加州的公立大学优先照顾州内的学生(顺便提一下,每年加州只有1%的最优秀毕业生成为该校的新生),但如果你是州外或国际学生,进伯克利就如同进常青藤盟校一样难.哦,对了,最后说一句,伯克利作为全美最好的研究生院(特别是博士课程,规模最庞大,且各个专业都在前10名,其中绝大多数都在前5名,许多排名第一或并列第一),就我所知,许多申请读研究生的国际学生被伯克利拒了,结果只能去一所常青藤中排名靠后的学校.
