College Admissions Statistics Class of 2021: Early and Regular Decision Acceptance Rates

@ynotgo thanks. That’s good information. And good news for OOS applicants because the UC system is strong.

A couple of tiny updates, @spayurpets :

Yale disclosed a yield of 71.4%: http://news.yale.edu/2017/05/16/class-2021-one-record-books
Harvard’s was 84%: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/5/10/class-2021-yield/

And thanks again for all the wonderful work you do.

@Ynotgo I think you may be missing a zero there on the overall rate.

Also Princetons yield was 66.6%. https://paw.princeton.edu/article/new-freshman-class-takes-shape

Uchicago yield is 73%

Wow- did anyone take a closer look at the UC admissions stats? Check out UC Davis. Guess it doesn’t pay to be a CA resident at Davis (nor at any of the others except for Merced-ouch):

35.9% California residents
72.2% OOS
60.4% Intl

35.9% California residents
72.2% OOS
60.4% Intl

How can this be???

Must be the new math.

Common Core?

Even if you took the 60.4% as part of th OOS number it still makes no sense.

It’s the admit rate.

For Davis the apps/admits were:

CA 51,425/18,480
OOS 5,607/4,050
Int 13,936/8,415

The 2017 25%-75% profiles are published and I think that might be new info, but I hope @Gumbymom chimes in.

Cal ACT 30-34
UCLA 30-34

Cal SAT 1,280-1,490
UCLA 1,280-1,500

@sushiritto

That’s for Admits correct?

I believe so, but I can’t be definitive. It says “students.” Here’s the link to UCLA:

@sushiritto: The UC Freshman profiles have been updated for 2017 matriculates.

In response to UC Davis and the admit rates, If you look at 2016 admit data it is very similar overall but numbers are slightly higher for OOS/International admits. What is not shown is how many California admits vs. OOS and International admits actually SIR.

For example:
Last year UC Davis had the following # of Freshman applications vs admits vs SIR’s.

California applicants: 49, 372. Admitted: 18,700. SIR’d: 4,599
OOS applicants: 5,558 Admitted: 3,577 SIR’d: 290
International applicants: 13,583 Admitted: 6,704 SIR’d: 873

So the majority of applicants and matriculated students are still California residents.

Hopefully UCD will post the SIR numbers for 2017.

@Gumbymom
I don’t think that is correct. In the link @sushiritto provided , it states that those numbers are “This is a snapshot of the admitted freshman class for fall 2017.”
This makes since considering UCLA’s class of 2020 stats on college board which happen to be the most recent Enrolled data. It is my understanding​ that freshman profiles are always Admitted data and CDS ( and college board) are always Enrolled data.

@VANDEMORY1342:

I agree, I did not mean to put matriculates, it should be admitted. Thank you for pointing out the error. I was tagged in this decision and I was not sure what the poster was asking since there was a discussion going on about UC Davis admit rates along the UC Freshman profiles.

Ya, that was my fault. UC Davis was being discussed and I posted info on UCB and UCLA, which most interests me, since D18 will be applying this Fall. I tagged @Gumbymom because I thought the admit profiles were new info, but wanted her confirmation, since she’s the expert on UC info. My apologies.

@sushiritto: Yes, the admit profiles are new but UCB/UCLA will post a more comprehensive Freshman profile for their 2017 admits on their websites sometime in the Fall.

@Gumbymom Oh okay no problem. :slight_smile:
