<p>Applicants to UCLA this year: 55,205 (down 3%)
I blame this on UC Merced funnelling away our slice of the application pie...</p>

<p>UC Merced? Why? It's the newest of UCs and not comparable to UCLA at all.</p>

<p>55,205 is still a lot though.</p>

3

<p>yeah - its still more than 50% of the overall UC applications. Not bad if you ask me</p>

<p>Personally I don't think I care if apps are down..it means less competition for me, so that is a good thing. ;)</p>

<p>Unless it means that the pool is stronger, despite less applicants as the weaker applicants apply elsewhere.</p>

<p>D'oh!</p>

<p>So much for the dream.</p>

<p>Sorry exilo; just think positive.</p>

<p>OH I am just kidding. I am too busy to worry. Okay, that might be a lie...I am not worried so much as I am anxious to find out. Mostly because where ever I am going it will be a logistical nightmare to move and the sooner I know the more time I have to prepare. </p>

<p>And yeah, I really wanna get into UCLA. ;) And anticipation is a b1tch.</p>
