<p>HOLY HELL</p>

2

<p>Not really, they admit over ~25% applicants last year. It will probably be around ~20% this year, but not much lower.</p>

3

<p>UCLA expects to have ~5000 of the admitted students enrolled, but not all admitted students will choose UCLA. Approximately 12000-13000 applicants, or at least 20%, are admitted.</p>

4

<p>there was about 16,500 admits. lookup the faq for denied freshmen.</p>

5

<p>Dam im stupid as hell if i cant even compete for one of the 12,000 admits.</p>

6

<p>You have to remember the thousands who will be admitted to UCLA and end up going to Berkeley.</p>

<p>How much did the budget cuts affect admissions? Just wondering 13,000 freshmen got admitted last year…mrdjod says there is about 16,500? Is this true?</p>

8

<p>Budget cuts probably affected admissions immensely. UCLA probably decided to enroll many more students with the assumption that their yield would decrease this year. At my school, about quadruple the usual number of applicants were accepted this year. Let’s hope Berkeley does the same. :)</p>

<p>I don’t really know if I should be believing what I hear on this thread. First that UCLA’s admit rate went up from last year to 25% with around 16k admits? That can’t be true. UCLA admitted more students due to budget cuts? How does that make any logical sense. My school which is a top 25 school in the state of california went down from 37 admits last year to about 20 this year. A significant drop. Unless someone can bring some hard evidence to the table about admit numbers raising as well as percent admits rising, I’m calling BS. My source? Common sense.</p>

11

<p>You cant look at UCLA as a whole. I believe that certain colleges admitted more students while other colleges did not because they were impacted. What is known is that far more students applied to UCLA this year so the % of admitted students was far below normal. Not sure if this is true but people said more OOS accepted to help with budget issue.</p>

12

<p>here are the facts. i just wish people dont post stats which are not verified so as not to mislead others.</p>

13

<p>g0ld3n: Your statement kind of proves my point. They accepted LESS Californians (who pay less tuition) and MORE OOS students (who have a higher tuition fee).</p>

14

<p>It would be interesting to see what the in-state vs. OOS breakdown looks like for this year’s applicants.</p>

15

<p>it cant be worse than Berkeley’s last year…
[More</a> than 12,900 offered admission after competitive application period](<a href=“http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2010/04/14/admissions/]More”>More than 12,900 offered admission after competitive application period | Berkeley News)</p>

<p>they shot for 20% enrollment for out of state and international students…which means they accepted at least % 20+ OOS. a really high number for a state school IMO.</p>

16

<p>Why do you think UCLA’s yield will decrease this year??</p>

17

<p>these OOS rumors are not true either! i wish people stop making up things and quoting unreliable sources. UC system is still favorable to deserving (note: deserving) in-state students. in fact, any OOS admitted are those who are really topnotch. for OOS, only AP subjects are given extra weight. for in-state, some honors classes have extra weight. plus, there are a lot more. do your research and get your facts straight, please, and not misled people with rumors or guesses, some by those who justify why they are not accepted. if there are a lot of oos accepted, it’s bec they deserve acceptance as well and are competitive enough with (or even better than) the topnotch in-state students too.</p>

<p>Quote:
“Generally speaking, the primary reason that we must turn away so many qualified students is simply that of competition. UCLA received over 61,500 freshman applications for a class of just over 5,300 new freshmen. We had to deny almost 45,000 applicants.”</p>

<p>Sooo. What do ya’ll think?</p>
