difficulty of getting into UCSB

<p>is it harder than UCI and UC davis?</p>

<p>The quantity of applicants is huge, the quality is similar.</p>

<p>Admission rate (~52%) is lower than Irvine (~59%) and significantly lower than Davis (~68%). Stats of admitted students is slightly higher than both schools.</p>

<p>Psst...here's a secret...apply as a history major and you will get in.</p>

<p>Most people are not admitted by major at UCSB. Only Comp Sci, Engineers and CCS.</p>
