In Reply To: After scrolling through these message boards several times, I have repeatedly noticed bitter, arrogant posts about Stanford undergraduates from the person who attended Berkeley undergrad and Stanford grad. Don't you have anything better to do with your life than to sit on the Internet and complain to anonymous masses? Are you so intent on spreading the gospel that Stanford sucks and Berkeley rules? Please, find something better to do with your life.
Message: I appreciate your message, and understand how what I've said could be misunderstood. First of all, I don't think that Stanford "sucks" at all. I really like it here, and consider it arguably the best school in the country: it has a great reputation, some of the best departments in the nation, and outstanding education at both undergrad and grad levels--plus amazing athletic programs and weather. Grade inflation is a fact though--it's here as well as at Ivy League schools. Acknowledging grade inflation is NOT tantamount to criticizing the school.
