Less than UCLA this year?

<p>What was Berkeley's admit rate? Combined admit rate including spring and fall please.</p>

<p>No idea. I’m guessing it was less than UCLA’s.</p>

<p>Data is available that will allow us to reasonably forecast that now:</p>

<p>UCLA had over 61,498 applications for 2011 per this link: [Applications</a> for fall 2011 hit record level at UCLA / UCLA Today](<a href=“http://www.today.ucla.edu/portal/ut/applications-for-fall-2011-hit-191026.aspx]Applications”>http://www.today.ucla.edu/portal/ut/applications-for-fall-2011-hit-191026.aspx) . while Berkeley had 52,900 per this: [High</a> school students apply for fall 2011 UC Berkeley freshman admission in record numbers](<a href=“http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2011/01/14/fall-2011-applications-set-new-record/]High”>High school students apply for fall 2011 UC Berkeley freshman admission in record numbers | Berkeley News)</p>

<p>Consulting each school’s published Common Data Set, we learn:</p>

<p>UCB accepted 10,529 in 2009 (2010 CDS not available)
UCB accepted 2,183 into Spring Semester 2011 per this link: <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/campuses/files/berkeley.pdf[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/campuses/files/berkeley.pdf&lt;/a&gt; footnote 1
UCLA accepted 13,088 in 2010</p>

<p>Using 2009 (UCB CDS) and 2010 (UCLA CDS) # of acceptances and 2011’s # of applications yields the following:</p>

<p>UCB: 10,529 Fall Admits + 2,183 Spring Admits = 12,712/52,900 = 24.2%
UCB: 10,529 Fall Admits + don’t count Spring: 10,529/52,900 = 19.9%
UCLA: 13,088 Fall Admits + 0 Spring Admits/61,498 = 21.3%</p>

<p>So, if the question is: </p>

<p>What % of applicants was admitted into UCB and UCLA for the 2011 school year (both semesters), then UCLA is more selective.</p>

<p>If the question is : </p>

<p>What % of applicants was admitted into UCB and UCLA for fall, 2011, then UCB would be more selective</p>
