That's why all the UC satellite campuses (UC Davis, UC Irvine, etc.) are all so overrated, because they all review each other as if they're all Berkely.

Ask a guest professor if they're overrated. My dad did some work at UC Davis and said their students far exceeded every other student body he'd ever worked with.

Without reading 7 pages... I've seen reports about a huge improvement in Bama.

If this question was asked back in the '90s... UGA would have had a huge bump with the addition of free in-state tuition with a 3.0 GPA or better.

"Improved" is always based from where a school starts. Once the improvement is made, it is harder and harder to see substantial improvements.
