where to find the admission Statistics for major?
UC schools are beginning to have a major fluctuation of applicants each year. The chances of getting in are gettin slimmer and slimmer every year from the large influx of applicants. This can affect many people who are trying to apply to difficult schools like UCLA or Berkeley.
This also goes with other universities that a are having a more competitive pole of people coming in.
Using the tables here, I calculated admit rates for the UCs, breaking the stats into CA residents and out-of-state residents. The trend continued in 7/9 schools: UCs admit a higher percentage of OOS students than of CA students; at some schools, it’s dramatically more.
UC Davis 34.42% CA; 70% OOS
UCSD 26.65% CA; 51.4% OOS
Berkeley 17.2% CA; 15.6% OOS
Irvine 29.86% CA; 47.38% OOS
Santa Cruz: 40.99% CA; 82.96% OOS
LA: 12.22% CA; 22.32% OOS
Merced: 72.12% CA; 62.25% OOS
Santa Barbara 29.69% CA; 47.69% OOS
Riverside 50.63% CA; 65.21% OOS
This is really helpful!!!
Bates admit rate 17.8%: https://www.bates.edu/admission/student-profile/
Previously, Bates disclosed it received 7688 applications, up significantly from 5316 last year, when its admit rate was 21.9%.
Colgate admit rate 24.9%: https://www.colgate.edu/admission-financial-aid/first-year-class-profile
Colgate also received a much higher number of applications at 9716 compared to 8542 last year when its admit rate was 28.1%.
WUSTL 4,708 admits / 37,320 (15.0%) with 1,812 enrolling. https://admissions.wustl.edu/apply_site/Pages/Profile.aspx
Connecticut College 2,429 / 6,433 (37.8%). https://www.conncoll.edu/admission/apply/admission-statistics/
@sbjdorlo : Interesting post about UC admission rates for in-state and out-of-state applicants. It would be helpful to know actual numbers because the admission rates alone might misled one into thinking that more non-residents are being admitted than are residents when this is not the case. For example, UC-Davis admits 70% of out-of-state applicants (versus 34% for residents) yet 95% of those attending UC-Davis are California residents according to 2016-2017 statistics.
The desire to admit more non-residents is probably an attempt to raise revenue as non-residents pay triple tuition compared to residents (approx. $42,396 non-resident tuition versus $14,382 for California resident tuition at UC-Davis).
UC-Davis 95% residents
UC-Berkeley 86% of students from in-state
UCLA 89% California residents
UC-Irvine 97% from in-state
UC-Merced 100% from in-state
UC-Riverside 99% from in-state
UC-San Diego 94% from in-state
UC-Santa Barbara 95% from in-state
UC-Santa Cruz 97% from in-state
These figures are one or two year old. The point is that even though non-resident admit rates are substantially higher than for in-state admits, UCs are NOT being overrun by non-residents.
Did Wake Forest announce admissions numbers this year? Usually they do so in April but have not seen them for Class of 2022?
Bates College 17.8% overall http://www.bates.edu/admission/
The UCs recently established caps on non-resident undergraduate enrollment. At five campuses (UCD, UCSB, UCSC, UCR, UCM), the cap is 18%. At the other four campuses (UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCI), the caps are variable because they are based on 2017 enrollment, but range from approximately 19% to 24%.
So no, the UCs are not being overrun by nonresidents, regardless of the high non-resident acceptance rates at some campuses. For the UC system as a whole, non-resident undergraduate enrollment should max out at about 20% (with some campuses slightly higher and others slightly lower). That’s quite low by national standards; I think the only lower systemwide cap is UNC at 18%. UTexas has a non-resident cap of 10% for the flagship Austin campus, but it doesn’t apply to the other campuses in the UT system.
You will notice that the highest non-resident acceptance rates (above 55%) are at UCD, UCSC, UCR, and UCM. These are all campuses that are currently below their designated “caps” for non-resident enrollment, so they can afford to be generous with non-resident admits. If and when they hit their caps, the non-resident acceptance rates are going to fall. This is likely to happen at UCD in the near future.
Women’s colleges see increase in yield https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2018/08/13/womens-colleges-see-boost-yield-wake-2016-election?utm_source=Inside+Higher+Ed&utm_campaign=842bb7c1ab-AdmissionsInsider_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1fcbc04421-842bb7c1ab-234726413&mc_cid=842bb7c1ab&mc_eid=93901c46e2
Yields are increasing across the board, especially at top 20 schools, probably more so than women’s colleges.
I know some students who recently graduated from an all female high school. Most had gone in spite of the fact that the school was all female, not because of it. They went for academics, campus, etc. But all had an A+ experience. I think the original impetus for female college/universities evolved away, and they suffered. But I think they are relevant in a wholly different way in today’s world.
TTG, that’s the gist of the article, that the mission of women’s colleges are increasingly relevant
