any relationship between admissions at Cal/UCLA?I just got into UCLA...

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>There is no relationship between the two and as far as I know they do not factor in geography.</p>

<p>I am from SoCal, I got in both places (spring admit in Berkeley though). I chose Berkeley.</p>

<p>One more note, as we all know SoCal is better than the Bay Area (though the greatness difference is highest in Los Angeles county, which is population-wise half of SoCal (see [Southern</a> California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“Southern California - Wikipedia”>Southern California - Wikipedia))). </p>

<p>That said, one should not use SoCal’s superiority and the Bay Area’s inferiority in support of deciding which school to go to. There are a lot of other variables that are probably wiser to use.</p>

Of course it does because you now know a lot more about the applicant.
Suppose you don’t know me and you have to guess my chances of getting into Cal, you’d probably say 20%. Now suppose I tell that I got accepted to Harvard, would your new guess still be 20%?</p>

<p>If you’re replying to me, I’ll reply back:</p>

<p>It was never a theory. Just what I’ve experienced myself along with many of my friends. Are you telling me that my experiences are wrong? I mean, I know there is no actual concrete relationship between the acceptances to either school, but there is evidence (and quite a strong relationship from where I’m from) that there is such a thing.</p>

<p>And congratulations to your son.</p>

<p>Is Berkeley Engineering more difficult to gain admission into than Berkeley L&S?</p>

<p>so the story goes.</p>

<p>Both are statistically independent of each other. A lot of my friends got into UCLA but not Berkeley. Only half of us got into both, but as long as you worked hard in your HS career and it shows on your application, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I got into UCLA and UCB. </p>

<p>Again, don’t worry about this too much. Congratulations on getting into UCLA!</p>

<p>Again, don’t think too hard on this. You sound like a motivated student, so whatever happens, you’ll be fine. Congratulations on getting into UCLA!</p>
