@ucbalumnus Interesting, thank you. How is it determined that UCLA and USC are “selectivity peers?” What with UCLA getting over 110,000 applications last year – a number that boggles the mind – it makes sense that the adcoms have to have some sort of strict cutoff stats-wise, just to get through the applications (minus the athletic recruits). Does USC have similar issues with having to cut down on a massive amount of applications? I’m sure no other school comes close to UCLA’s in terms of sheer numbers but perhaps they have more manpower as well.
