<p>I have heard in the past that applying to a few may hurt your chances of getting into one or the other. I always believed this to be a myth and still do. Although it is interesting how some people get into UCLA and not UCB and then there are some who get into UCB but not UCLA.</p>
<p>I am planning on applying to UCLA, UCB, and UCSD. The only one that I am seriously, seriously considering is UCLA. It is actually my second choice behind Stanford. The other two are schools I’d be happy at but not dying to go to. I’ll post my information for the past few years below. Can anyone comment on the speculation about applying to multiple campuses? And whether they think I have a good shot at getting into any of the three? I’m from Maryland and come from a school with prestigious academics. Newsweek Top 100… the whole shebang. We have 2,600 students or so and do not rank. My class size is around 650 I believe</p>
