How difficult is it to get into Cal?

<p>One of the admissions officers at Berkeley said the admission rate is 1 out 5. This seems like an awfully high number for such a competitive school.</p>

<p>How hard is it to get into Berkeley?</p>

<p>It depends on which college you apply to.</p>

<p>It depends on your major/college, it depends on your location, it depends on you, it depends on a lot of other things. OoS is a completely different world for admissions.</p>

<p>However, the general admission rate is about 20%, yes. For competitive majors admission is much tougher.</p>

<p>you can just walk right in, so not hard at all.</p>
