<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Does anyone have the admissions statistics for the College of Engineering versus the College of Letters and Science? Average UC GPA, SAT range, admit %? I've heard the difference between the two is significant.</p>

<p>[Looking</a> for StatFinder? | UCOP](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu%5DLooking”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu) had plenty of statistics, but it is no longer available.</p>

<p>Note that the College of Engineering admits by major, unlike the College of Letters and Science.</p>

<p>Last set of COE stats was from 2009: <a href=“http://coe.berkeley.edu/faculty/faculty-meetings-college-committees/faculty-meeting-spring-2009/Undergraduate%20Admissions%20Committee.doc[/url]”>http://coe.berkeley.edu/faculty/faculty-meetings-college-committees/faculty-meeting-spring-2009/Undergraduate%20Admissions%20Committee.doc&lt;/a&gt;, last page.</p>

<p>Also wondering about the admission stats of the College of Chemistry. </p>

<p>(UCB is the only major university which has a dedicated college for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ! Go Bear !)</p>

<p>I had seen somewhere on the Berkeley engineering website that the last year the acceptance rate was about 13%. The link provided by AskMsSun gives an acceptance rate of about 17%. It seems the acceptance rate has dropped by 4% in 3 years. Considering that the application rate is going to be even higher this year, does anyone have thoughts on how bad it is going to get this year?
I had not noticed until recently that acceptance rate at Berkeley engineering is in similar range as MIT and Caltech (10-12%).</p>
