<p>hot UC: UCSD, UCSB, UCI
ssteady UC: UCLA, Berkeley
cold UC: UCR, UC Davis, UCSC</p>
<p>Really lame post algebra949e dude you need to get a life.</p>
<p>Seriously. Each and every UC has plans of improving, increasing size, and providing more programs with more resources. UCR is hoping to get a medical school and law school, I think UC Merced (which you excluded) wants the same, or at least one of them (I forget which, probalby a med school). Davis received a lot higher yield than it thought it would, obviously meaning people want to go there out of the places they were accepted. I can't see the "cold" as anything but colder relative to the fast movers and shakers, and what makes you say one is hot while another is cold where they seem to be pretty similar as far as I can tell?</p>
<p>if they all accpetd 69% they would al lget high yield. uc davis is kind of a col dschool right now. they are falling in the rankings behind UCi and UCSB. UCSC is catching up because it is cooler than UC Davis. and UCSC is closer to silicon valley too</p>
<p>You need to study a little more math dude. It is based on capacity, space available.</p>
<p>algebra949e, I believe the yield rate has little to do with acceptance rate. Just because a school accepts a lot of people doesn't mean all of those who were accepted will enroll.</p>
<p>Just for the record, the drop is UCD's US News ranking last year was due to a misreporting of info on the administration's part.</p>
<p>As some of the posters alluded to, UC Davis just expanded the size of their campus, allowing them to accept a much larger amount of applicants this year--though they did overaccept (just as most of the other UCs), the criteria and statistics of the incoming class is just as competitive as UCI and UCSB.</p>
<p>In other words UCD cannot be a cold UC considering they accepted more students at an equally competitive level than they ever have. THE END.</p>
