<p>I got an email saying the decisions would be released on march 19th and they also said they received over 76,000 applicants. Thats an intimidating number</p>
<p>I know right! I was about to post the same topic! This number is scary! Does anyone know the approximate number of offers will they send out?</p>
<p>uhuh that’s quite a lot… the acceptance rate is going to reduce drastically…</p>
<p>"UCSB has received 76,026 applications for undergraduate admission for fall 2013. Of those, 62,402 are from prospective first-year students and 13,637 are from applicants seeking to transfer to UCSB. Of particular note, freshman applications have increased significantly in engineering, biology, economics, and physics.</p>
<p>UCSB has target enrollments of 4,300 first-year students and 1,550 transfer students for the fall." Scary !!!</p>
<p>That’s not worse than CSULB they topped 80,000.

<p>I already know where I’m going in the fall. I’m going to see what the UC’s say before I submit my accept button to where I’m headed.</p>
<p>Thank God I applied for Math major. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I got that same email yesterday too…My hopes are crushed a little…:(</p>
<p>I applied undeclared but I have cal poly under my belt in case I dont get in. Good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>Was the 76,000 figure an increase over last year?</p>
<p>Oh yeah I think they got around 40,000-50,000 last year</p>

<p>They got about 13,000 more applicants this year than last year. I don’t think it will drop the admittance rate by too much. Maybe by 1-2%.</p>
