<p>HOW IS THAT REASONABLE? can anyone explain this?</p>

<p>They accept approx. 12000 students. Not everyone chooses to go here, in fact only around 33-35% due, hence the 4690 expected matriculation</p>

<p>Most/some people who apply to UCLA also apply to Ivies, so you have to take into account the fact that if they get accepted to UCLA they have a high chance of getting accepted at other Ivies as well, so they will sometimes choose to go to those schools instead of UCLA.</p>

<p>Think about it…if they only “accepted” 4600 or so students, many who have applied and will be accepted to other schools, and only 2000 choose to go to UCLA, then they would have a freshman class of 2000 instead of the usual 4600-4900. They actually “accept” around 12,000, or 22%. Eventually all “accepted” students decide where they want to attend and you end up with about 4600 actually attending UCLA. Please don’t mix up “accept” and “attend”. The acceptance rate will be very close to what it has been in recent years.</p>

<p>There was a lot of confusion about this last year too.</p>

<p>If you cannot understand the difference between accepted number of students and expected number of students who will attend, maybe UCLA isn’t the school for you.</p>

<p>I swear, every forum currently has someone posting that SLO, UCI, UCSD, etc, have a 5% admit rate or something ridiculous.</p>
