<p>Hopefully it isn’t that low :…</p>
<p>He said the callers will be calling 30 people each…</p>
<p>Honestly, 3,000 admittees is quite a bit…how much did UCLA lower their admissions because of the budget cuts/ increased applicant pool?</p>
<p>Well that is how the math works out :p</p>
<p>Aw, my post doesn’t make as much sense now that you edited it. Sad :(</p>
<p>I hope it didn’t drop by 3000… Maybe it’s more like 550 or 600 callers? Oh well.</p>
<p>And there also has to be some accepted students whose phone numbers they don’t have.</p>
<p>Weird, read this: [Applications</a> for UCSD surge - SignOnSanDiego.com](<a href=“http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/jan/18/applications-for-ucsd-surge/]Applications”>http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/jan/18/applications-for-ucsd-surge/)</p>
<p>“For fall 2010, UCSD offered admission to 15,433 would-be freshmen, or 36.8 percent of those who applied. That freshman admission rate was the third lowest in the system. UCLA had a 2010 rate of 21 percent, and UC Berkeley was at 24.5 percent.”</p>
<p>Any clue why the numbers are different? 3,000 is quite a bit</p>
<p>I have given up any hopes of trying to figure out how the whole admission process works…time will tell</p>
<p>I’m confused. So it didn’t drop? I know there was a 3000ish drop from '08 to '09. It seems about the same number as last year, right?</p>
<p>2009: Applicants: 41,528 Admits: 15,325
2008: Applicants: 42,361 Admits: 16,998
2007 Applicants: 40,856 Admits: 17,313
2006: Applicants: 39,512 Admits: 18,118</p>
<p>From <a href=“http://www.statfinder.ucop.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.statfinder.ucop.edu</a></p>
<p>I guess it will be roughly the same? Except more OoS ofcourse…</p>
<p>Nevermind…looked at studentresearch.ucsd.edu…</p>
<p>2007: 45,073/ 19,178
2008: 47,365/ 19,717
2009: 47,046/ 17,679
2010: 48,093/ 18,356</p>
<p>No 3,000 drop from '08 to '09…and I read in some post that UCLA still accepted the same amount of students despite the budget cuts…except with more OoS</p>
<p>I feel like a 3000 person drop is just outrageous. There’s no way UCSD would get enough SIRs…</p>
<p>Well it might be just that they’re CALLING 15,000 people…and the remaining 3,000 would get their acceptance via TritonLink</p>
<p>Agreed. I just saw that they didn’t have my number on tritonlink. They can’t call everyone, obviously.</p>
<p>@fl1p1npr1d3 what does OoS stand for ? </p>
<p>wow, it sucks to be in their position, calling 15,000+ people 
</p>
<p>But then again, it sucks to be in our position… this grueling wait!</p>
<p>500 callers? Really?</p>
<p>If you work at it, you can crank out 15,000 calls with 20 callers, in 5 days. Easy.</p>
<p>20 callers x 20 calls per hour (very generous–you’ll get a lot of voicemail) x 8 hours per day x 5 days = 16,000 total calls.</p>
<p>Of course, you can really only call from 6-8 pm if you want to reach people. So make it 80 callers and 2 hours per day.</p>
<p>That “500 callers” thing is BS. If you’re having students make only 6 calls a day… Well, that’s highly inefficient. You either need a real phone bank-style operation, or you need to assign one or two calls per person total, that they make from a personal phone. Even then, with so many inexperienced callers, you’ll have call quality and consistency issues.</p>
<p>^ But we are talking about a UC here, so they probably haven’t thought of any of those issues.</p>
<p>OOS is out of state. OOS = more money for the universities in increased tuition and less spots to admit Ca applicants. No offense meant to any out of state applicants. We understand the desirability of having a georgraphically diverse student body and you are welcome here. Just stating the fact that with the increased budget cuts the state schools are trying to make up the deficit by admitting more out of staters which makes it even more competitive for residents.</p>
<p>By the way @ayoung, I was declined by UCLA with a 2340 and a 4.2+. Lots of kids with great stats were. It sucks but at least we are not alone.</p>
<p>Matrix, now I don’t feel so bad rejected by UCLA since you have better stats than me and you did not get in, thank you, Matrix, and you took the suckness right out of the rejection !!!</p>
<p>gaw…my stats are “good” for sd…so i hope ucsd isn’t just another crapshoot.</p>
<p>good night all and GOOD LUCK</p>
<p>Glad I could help. :)</p>
