New UC admissions data for 2005

Strangely enough, both flagship UC’s aren’t increasing in selectivity, while the lower ones are. Davis and UCLA actually decreased most, while Berkeley remained the same.

Berkeley:
<a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/pathways/ucnotes/february05/news2.html[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu/pathways/ucnotes/february05/news2.html</a>
<a href=“http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/freshmen.asp[/url]”>http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/freshmen.asp</a>

Berkeley got 36,982 freshmen apps. They admitted 8986 last year.
8986/36982 = 24.3% That’s about the same as last year, and 1% higher than UCLA for 2004.

HOWEVER, i think Berkeley will admit more because they dont have enough freshmen.

UCLA:
<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof05.htm[/url]”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof05.htm</a>
According to the prelim
UCLA admitted 26.79%. That’s approximately an increase of 5 percent over last year, and 2 percent above that of Berkeley. All averages decreased.

Mainly, UCLA need to add more freshmen, so they admitted 1000 more this year. Their enrollement dropped below 25,000 last year.

SD:
<a href=“http://studentresearch.ucsd.edu/sriweb/enroll/ffapadac.pdf[/url]”>http://studentresearch.ucsd.edu/sriweb/enroll/ffapadac.pdf</a>
<a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/pathways/ucnotes/february05/news2.html[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu/pathways/ucnotes/february05/news2.html</a>
If they admit 17269 again, out of 40499, that’s 43%, more than before.

SB:
<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/QuickFacts.asp[/url]”>http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/QuickFacts.asp</a>
If they admit 19589 again, that’s 52%, less than before.

UCI:
<a href=“http://www.admissions.uci.edu/f04_fr_profile.html[/url]”>http://www.admissions.uci.edu/f04_fr_profile.html</a>
17,971/34,441= 52%

So the selectivities rankings are back to where they were 6 years ago

1)Berkeley
2)UCLA
3)UCSD
4)UCSB
5)UCI

<p>yeah okay berkeley fanboy, you said urself that LA had to admit more to fill in spots</p>

3

<p>/&lt;/p>

<p>Lol, facts don't lie, buddy.</p>

4

<p>Berkeley Fanboy?</p>

<p>There aren't a single statement that says LA>Berkeley. I consider both UC's flagships, and both of roughly equal in stature. UCLA is like Berkeley's brother, while USC would be the stranger.</p>

<p>It's just like saying that Bush won the 2004 election. Saying that doesnt mean I'm a GOP member.</p>

<p>I do admit that UCLA is rising faster than Berkeley, however.</p>

<p>We need to stop this UC on UC hate!</p>

6

<p>Uc On Stanford Hate!</p>

7

<p>If you guys think it's hate, you're too patriotic for your school.</p>

<p>Just like before the civil war when state was above country, our UC system is suffering from the same problem.</p>

<p>We need to have unity, and what I posted has NOTHING to do with EITHER claiming UCLA> Berkeley or the other way around.</p>

<p>ok i take it back bubbles</p>

<p>These are just preliminary statistics... right?
(UCLA and Berkeley getting less selective? Oh, the humanity!)</p>
