UCLA Loses The Crown As The Nation’s Best Public School After Almost A Decade — Dethroned By Another California University

UCLA has long been a symbol of academic excellence and innovation in the U.S. Known for its world-class programs, vibrant campus life, and influential alumni, it’s a place that attracts top students from across the country and beyond. Because of its academic excellence and prestige, the renowned *U.S. News & World Report* survey ranked UCLA at the very top of the nation’s best public universities for nearly a decade, eight years, to be exact. But this year, things have changed, and UCLA has officially lost its title. The latest U.S. News report crowned none other than another heavyweight in academia: UC Berkeley, which also ranked #15 among National Universities. The report highlighted key indicators like its 11% admission rate, 80% four-year graduation rate, and 50% of classes having fewer than 20 students. These stats show why it’s considered a true powerhouse in higher education and a worthy contender for the top spot. While UCLA now proudly holds the second spot, its numbers remain just as impressive as ever. The report ranked it #17 among National Universities and highlighted its sub-10% admission rate (9%), an 85% four-year graduation rate, and 47% of classes with fewer than 20 students. As you can see, the numbers are very close so, let’s wait and see if UCLA can reclaim the top spot next year! Source: https://secretlosangeles.com/ucla-loses-title-best-public-school/
