UCLA is also only one place behind Berkeley on this list. Does that mean that a lot of people are under the impression that UCLA Law is as good as Berkeley Law? Because that is quite funny. At least there will be less competition for people waiting to hear from Berkeley.
See, no one has said UCLA is at the same level of Berkeley. There are two different situations. First, no one disputes that Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, Duke, Berkeley, etc. are Law Schools more prestigious than UCLA, so much so that these schools are all very considered for "Becas Chile" and many of us have postulates them first choice. Now, all of them also have a very good ranking as universities, thereby increasing the chances of getting a full scholarship. That is not the case of USC, because unfortunately do not have a very good ranking as University, but also as School of Law is even below UCLA in the own US News (That is only a US Law Schools Ranking).
Therefore, perhaps it is true that you have less competition from Chilean applicants ... but for USC, because Berkeley is considered the best public university in the world. Obviously I also postulated there, like many Chileans.
I am surprised that emily717, who created this post supposed to applicants who want to enter UCLA, talk of "ranking over-inflated" like you've never wanted to study there. It is at least curious.
