<p>I know this might be a stupid question, but I really dont know much about the UC system.
Does applying to UCLA and UCB decrease your chances of getting into UCB?
I heard that people get into either one of them but not both..?
Thanks :D
PS: please dont tell me to look at the UC website I've already done that.</p>

<p>Answer: No</p>

3

<p>no. i got into both, as did many many other people.</p>

4

<p>No, no, no. I got accepted into both plus UCSD.</p>

5

<p>My D got into both. It doesn’t matter.</p>

6

<p>Yes. So you better hope you get the one you want. I heard the two schools meet and tell each other which students they’ve admitted. Crazy right?</p>

7

<p>No, applying to both would only increase your chances of getting into at least one. But it is a common misconception that many people assume since there is a large amount of people accepted to one and not to the other.</p>

8

<p>Was accepted to both with Regents at both.</p>

<p>Yes, so don’t apply to UCLA! :p</p>

<p>(Unless you want to be “safe”, then don’t apply to Berkeley.)</p>

<p>Well, I do believe that applying to both won’t affect your chances - I know a lot of people accepted to both with no problem.
I don’t think, while they are both in the California system, they compete against each other - so they will not give beloved students to each other even if they compare the so-called admitted list.</p>

<p>Doubt it, I got into all five of the UCs I applied to.</p>

<p>I got accepted to Berkeley and UCLA too, so no. But I heard that it is more common that people get one or the other and its less common to get into both. I don’t know though …</p>
