Is UCLA as good as an Ivy League school?
UCLA is ranked as the #4 public university in the nation. I would say that's pretty good.
Reply:I would not say that. Ivy league schools are far and away the best schools in the world and they blow the competition away.
Reply:Definitely. It's the West Coast equivalent of an Ivy League school (as is Stanford, but UCLA is public and therefore much more affordable). It's extremely difficult to get in, but there are amazing opportunities for learning, research, and personal growth once you're accepted.
Reply:As someone who just went through the college applications process, there are only two differences I see between Ivy League and other elite schools and the so called "second tier" good schools. The first is reputation. Saying you went to Harvard is much better than saying you went to UCLA. Second of all, the peer group will be different. At an elite school, you will have more motivated and intelligent kids around you than at a good public university. On the flip side, the facilities and the teaching itself will be mostly the same. If reputation and peer group are important to you, then the answer to your question is No, otherwise Yes.
