<p>According to today's paper in the Daily Nexus of 19 April 2011, here are some facts. . .</p>

<ul>
<li><p>UCSB offered admission to 22,386 of nearly 50,000 applicants -- largest pool ever -- for Fall 2011.</p></li>
<li><p>46% accepted, and plans to enroll 3,900 students this fall.</p></li>
<li><p>average GPA is 4.08 (I swear, goes up higher every year. . .) and average SAT score of 1908 of 2400. (oh dear.)</p></li>
<li><p>3,384 prospective freshmen were placed on UCSB's waitlist. . .and according to the paper, "will be notified of their admission status in May." (The paper may be wrong.)</p></li>
<li><p>UCSB plans to enroll roughly 1,500 of its 14,288 transfer applicants. (An increase of nearly 2,000 applicants from Fall 2010.) According to the paper, "transfer decisions will be released later this month." (They may be wrong.)</p></li>
<li><p>over 54% of this year's admitted UCSB applicants identify with ethnic/racial minority groups, compared to 52.6& in 2010. </p></li>
</ul>

<p>Ill post stats from entire UC system tomorrow, after I finish my bio midterm and complete dentist shopping. (consequence of an expensive accident. ugh.)</p>

<p>EDIT: good luck to those of you on the waitlist. . .persist, and you can get it in.</p>

<p>I’m a waitlist applicant.
[insert words of frustration here]</p>

<p>46% accepted?? it can’t be
I asked an admission administrator from ucsb on collegelive.com and he/she told me that last year’s acceptance rate was around 35%. It should be lower this year since there were more applicants</p>

<p>paper must have got their facts wrong then. -___-</p>

<p>alexis. . .you’ll get in. hang in there.</p>

<p>Dreamutolife. The admission rate for Fall 2010 is 42%, or 45% with applicants admitted off the waitlist, if this is the last year that you’re referring to. I’m not sure what collegelive.com is.

<p>The Nexus seems to be accurate according the office UCSB press release. <a href=“Public Affairs & Communications | Institutional Advancement”>Public Affairs & Communications | Institutional Advancement;

<p>Lemon, the admitted class average GPA actually dropped from 4.10 (last year) to 4.08 this year, even though the average SAT’s increased from 1905 to 1908. But these aren’t too much of dramatic changes though.</p>

<p>Indeed Ryan, you’re talking a .02 GPA drop and a 3 point SAT drop. Not too dramatic. xD</p>

<p>btw, lots of people are celebrating 420 all over my building. . . -_____-</p>

<p>Lol… these stats almost make me feel bad for going to UCSC instead. I somehow got accepted with a diminutive 3.4 gpa from out of state.</p>

8

<p>I’m a waitlist applicant as well. I have a good feeling that the waitlist this year will not be as good as last year</p>

<p>GPA: 3.57 SAT: 1910</p>
