Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Yale international acceptance rate 8%
UBC 3%
the international rates at UCB are a real turn off for me, since im an int. from Canada and I'm very global minded.</p>

<p>EDIT oops thats enrollment gotta recheck the stats</p>

<p>I'm sure Berk is easier to get into than Yale, even for internationals</p>

<p>You'll get better financial aid at Yale too. Enjoy New Haven!</p>

<p>For IS applicants, they're about just as hard, i guess.</p>

<p>julius, don't let the low admission rate discourage you, or give you any preconceived notion on how cosmopolitan Berkeley really is. Berkeley is a very international campus because California is a very international state. In fact, Berkeley has more students who were born aroad or whose parents were born abroad than the entire Ivy League, combined. Most Ivy League student bodies are much more "whitebread" American.</p>

<p>Berkeley as the ‘Immigrant University’</p>

<p>"It probably won’t shock anyone that the state’s flagship public university, the University of California at Berkeley, today has a strong immigrant tilt to its undergraduate student body. But even seasoned observers of the state and the university might be surprised by the extent of the immigrant presence at Berkeley, which the authors of a new study characterize as “tremendous and unprecedented": 63 percent of the campus’s undergraduate students (excluding international students) were either born outside the United States or have at least one foreign-born parent."</p>

<p>It's actually 22.7%.</p>

<p>Too wide a discrepancy. My source is Inside Higher Education. </p>

<p>In any case, Berkeley's percentage is in all likelihood significantly higher than Yale's, which means that in absolute numbers the amount of cultural international students (as defined by their place of birth or that of their parents) is vastly higher at Berkeley.</p>

<p>I'm not talking about culturally international students. I'm meaning ones who didn't attend high school in the United States. I used the database of the office of student research.</p>

<p>the admission rate for internationals is like 9%. the admission for international student in MIT is 3.4%(maybe u confused both facts).....i am international student NO IDEA how i got into cal. i didnt get into brown that has a higher admission rate, so it really depends on the application pool and what the school is looking for. but yeah....cal admission are WAY more selective for interational students</p>
