<p>Yeah UCSB has been suprisngly difficult to get into. UCSB has been 3rd among UCs in applications recieved for the past 4 years. It's been UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, Berkeley, UCI and UCD, for applciations recieved. </p>

<p>Fall 2000 was a crazy year for acceptance rates
UCB=7637/26141 = 29.2%
UCD=14925/23385 = 63.8%
UCI=13243/23007 = 57.5%
UCLA=9886/32262 = 30.6%
UCSB=13470/28324 = 47.5%
UCSD=12863/32029 = 40.1%</p>

<p>This was the last year UCLAs acceptance rate was higher than Berkeley's. This was also the last year UCSB started getting more applications than Berkeley.</p>

<p>Still, UCSB will always be below Berkeley, UCLA and UCSD in selectivity.</p>
