<p>Does anyone know how they select the college they put you in? For example, Muir instead of Revelle or so on...</p>
<p>I’m going to guess that they have some algorithm to maximize people’s top picks. I feel like it must be some arbitrary system. I don’t actually know what it is though.</p>
<p>I don’t think the algorithm was random. Back a few years back when UCSD had the point system, my sibling was borderline and she ranked Sixth college as her last choice and that’s what she got accepted to.</p>
<p>^Ok. That makes sense too. That could be how they do it as well. I was just guessing.</p>
