<p>ok so I was looking at UCSD's page for freshman selection, when I read</p>

<p>UC San Diego received more than 48,000 freshman applications for Fall 2010.
There were 3,600 spots available.</p>

<p>is it supposed to be 36,000 or is UCSD as selective as Harvard now?</p>

<p>the link is </p>

<p>UC</a> San Diego Comprehensive Review Admission Process: Freshman Selection, Fall 2010</p>

<p>just in case someone wants to prove me wrong
please do :)</p>

<p>The 3,600 refers to enrollment spaces for the freshman class. Not everyone accepted enrolls, so offers of admission are given to many more students. The mid-tier UCs typically have yield rates of 20%-25%, so offers of admission are given to 4 or 5 times as many students as there are enrollment spots. UCSD has a slightly higher yield rate but I’m too lazy to look it up :)</p>

<p>oh my god thank you so much friend, I was about to have a major panic attack haha.
Yea last year UCSD was at a 37% admit rate-it’ll probably drop this year though

<p>There are several numbers:
Number of applicants
2009 - 47046
2008 - 47365
Number of applicants accepted
2009 - 17679 (38%)
2008 - 19717 (42%)
Number of accepted applicants matriculate
2009 - 3749 (21%)
2008 - 4292 (22%)</p>

<p>Each year, the colleges determine their target enrollment. It looks like UCSD is targeting 3600 for this year. Based on past year’s matriculation rate, UCSD will probably accept ~17000 applicants which is about ~35% acceptance rate. If ~21% of those accepted applicants matriculate, UCSD will meet their target enrollment.</p>

<p>Check out the PDF where I copied the data from.
