<p>Any body setting acceptance that didn't apply? I just saw a post about a UCR rejection.</p>
<p>Yeah UCM is the referral pool school and will be for a long time, this is the first year that UCR is not a referral pool due to high enrollment, UOP has not stated if this is permanent if UCR sees a drop in applications in the coming years it might serve as a referral pool campus again but this would be true of any campus in the system.</p>
<p>Merced Pro Tip: Sometimes you’ll walk the halls of UC Merced and meet people who think they were recruited to UC Merced because they “didn’t even apply”; these people have no idea what the referral pool is</p>
