<p>Does anyone know what the acceptance rate was this year? I'd like to know how lucky I actually was. I know it has been around 52% in previous years.</p>
<p>It was 54.5% last year, but I did find this article: 93106:</a> Applications Soar for Fall 2008</p>
<p>UCSB usually releases acceptance percentage figures in late April.</p>
<p>According to this new article in the Daily Nexus, UCSB offered admission to 23,100 students out of a total pool of 47,025, making the admission rate 49.1% this year.</p>
<p>rc251 you are correct</p>
<p>the admissions officer at a admitted students tour said the admissions were at 49%
thats crazy!! all of the uc's rates were really low this year</p>
<p>Sorry, I forgot a link to the article in my original post:</p>
<p>Applicant</a> Numbers Increase, Break UCSB Record - Daily Nexus</p>
<p>wow, so it went down from 54% to 49%. For some reason I feel so happy XD. I submitted my SIR to UCSB on March 27 after finding out I got rejected from Berkeley (i didn't even wait for my UCI decision which came out the next morning ... i got rejected though LOL).</p>
