<p>I made an Application Data Chart comparing the Top 20 schools (including Berkeley). You can see it here: </p>

<p>What suckers…I would gladly take a scholarship to a CSU these days.</p>

<p>Good GPA + No work (compared to berkeley) + Hot dumb chicks + party campus + actually social peers + small classes (smaller pop and less people attend class b/c most ppl who go there are pretty stupid) + scholarship + not a crappy city = happy 1234</p>

<p>Has there ever been a year where the number of applicants actually decreased? If not, then big surprise.</p>

4

<p>omg. nooooooo. i wonder if that means the sat scores and w/e will be alot higher?</p>

5

<p>^Probably not. I wouldn’t expect the admission rate to change that much. If there is a change in average GPA/SAT, I would expect it to be minor.</p>

<p>Hey guys guys . . there’s this thing called population increase . . . yeah</p>

<p>I would’ve imagined growing UC tuition costs driving people away, not to the school.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>it’s still 2-3 times cheaper than any private school. you have to ask yourself, how much do you want to spend for college tuition? 45k for 4 years, or 120k for 4 years? most would prefer the former.</p>

<p>Even though tuition is rising, it’s still quite a bargain to attend Berkeley compared to many other private schools.</p>

<p>I read that the UCs are receiving more applications because more high school students are becoming eligible. This means that while many students previously had 2.9s, more are starting to get above the 3.0 minimum. So the seemingly drastic boost in applicants is likely from extremely under-qualified students.</p>

11

<p>Why do people make such a big deal out of POPULATION INCREASE.</p>

<p>Every year, there are more high school graduates. As simple as that. How is this a “drastic boost” in any way shape or form.</p>

12

<p>who gives a **** about how many people applied? This thing gets old…every year.</p>

13

<p>OP, I wonder where did you get the 24.4% admit rate for Berkeley on your table…</p>
