Mistake About UCLA Admissions: 25 Percent to 8.5 Percent

<p>That is right.
According to UCLA only 4700ish Applicants were accepted out of 55K.
Do the math
4700/55000</p>

<p>=.085454545445</p>

<p>are you Serious.... was last years admittance rate REALLY 25 percent?</p>

<p>Not everyone that is admitted will go to UCLA, so they give out more than 4700 acceptances.</p>

<p>Wrong. They accept way more than 4700.</p>

<p>Uh, no. They expect 4,700 to enroll. They admitted many more.</p>

<p>WRONG</p>

<p>they predict 4,700 people to matriculate and actually be in</p>

<p>12,000-13,000 will actually be offered admission</p>

<p>12k admitted, 4.7k will attend. think about it. 12k real smart people, 8k goes to stanford, cal, ivies, whatever. 4k on average will choose ucla. on average.</p>

<p>prolly a little over double the admitted students (12-13K ish?)</p>

<p>Yeah, that's definitely not true.</p>

<p>NO! </p>

<p>There are 4,700 spots available. Those spots will be filled. To compensate for a little over half the admitted students choosing to go to other schools, they admit around 10-12k total, which works out to be ~21-22% admit rate (we'll know the exact #s later).</p>

<p>But definitely NOT an 8.5% admit rate.</p>

<p>holy mother of God people jumped on this LOL. well we all have the same answer so there you go :P</p>

<p>this thread needs to be deleted.</p>

<p>the same mistake was made last year. stop freakin' out, guys.</p>

<p>i think UC played around with the numbers, the 2007 number might be a total number of acceptance, including transfers. coz think about it, UCLA can't possibly have 21000 freshman, that would mean around 84,000 people in the whole schoool!</p>

<p>You are WRONG.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>BOOHOO>
