Actually UC Berkeley rates in the top five in numerous departments and has had more nobel prize winning scientists on its' faculty than any other school.
I am not a law student . I graduated a top law school and passed the bar several years ago. My law school rejacted most applicants who graduated Stanford , Princeton, Yale , Northwestern and other top schools with good grades and good LSATs.
While Berkeley is'nt rated as high as ten years ago, it's still a very prestigous school based on the ratings of others not the Berkeley faculty
