<p>UCLA received 47,000 applicants and received 4,600 students.</p>
<p>That is 9.8% admit rate.</p>
<p>I thought it was around 20% last year..?</p>
<p>What?! Consider their yield rate too mxc. </p>
<p>Yeah that's right... they did admit around ~22(?)%.</p>
<p>.....thats way too low.</p>
<p>most ucs have a goal of ENROLLING that many students. to accept only that many is just preposterous.</p>
<p>try multiplying that number by about 2.</p>
<p>no way dude. what was their OOS admit rate? i almost dont believe this. what are you pulling? haha...</p>

^this is last yrs admit stats. according to those stats, last yr, they admitted 11,361 students. theres no way they would cut their acceptance rate almost in half...</p>
<p>It said on their rejection letter.....</p>
<p>ohhh, well mrxalleycat, i think that number points to the class size, not the admit size. not everyone who is admitted will go to ucla.</p>
<p>the admit rate last year was around 25%. it's that this year too. the 4000 students that they say is their 10% rate is only first years. It doesn't include transfers. Last year, 10,000 were admitted because well, only 42000 applied. Hope that clears everything up for you guys.</p>
<p>The percentage acceptance is 27%. Check collegeboard.com</p>
<p>its so not fair... they probably had like the lowest admit rate of the UC's tear tear.</p>
<p>Why is that not fair?</p>

Generally speaking, the primary reason that we must turn away so many qualified students is simply that of competition. UCLA received more than 47,000 freshman applications for a class of just over 4,600 new freshmen. We had to deny more than 35,000 applicants. Among these 35,000 were some of the brightest and highest achieving high school seniors in the state.

<p>from <a href="https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Top10/FR_Not_Adm.htm%5B/url%5D">https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Top10/FR_Not_Adm.htm</a>.</p>
<p>So the expected class size is 4,600 but the number rejected is around 35,000. Let's assume it's 35,500 rejected. The Daily Bruin said they received 47,226 applications this year. Then their admit rate for 06-07 was 24.8%.</p>
<p>For the past four years, users on College Confidential have consistently misinterpreted the matriculation rate on the UCLA rejection letter as being the admission rate; this year is no exception... For the record, the Fall 2005 admission stats revealed a 26.90% admission rate with a 40.2% yield rate, leading to a 10.8% matriculation rate. Although it's gotten even harder to get into UCLA this year, it's not so hard that the matriculation rate comes remotely close to matching the admission rate. Not even Harvard can achieve a ~100% yield rate. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>An acceptance of about 11k-12k sounds about right.</p>
<p>how's that official? it should be in the twenties.</p>
<p>in general</p>
<p>45k applicants, 10k accepted, 4.5k matriculate (spots available)</p>
<p>the acceptance rate is not matriculate divided by applicants. it's accepted divided by applicants.</p>
<p>mrxalleycat: "UCLA received 47,000 applicants and received 4,600 students.</p>
<p>That is 9.8% admit rate."</p>
<p>According to
<a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Top10/FR_Not_Adm.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Top10/FR_Not_Adm.htm</a></p>
<p>47,000 applicants; 35,000 denied
4,600 expected to enroll.</p>
<p>The amount accepted is (applicants - denied) = 12,000</p>
<p>admit rate = (amount accepted)/applicants = ~25%</p>
<p>Yeah you are right....my bad .....the way UCLA worded their rejection letter made me think 10%</p>
<p>Flopsy, they make it misleading. It seems like a lot of schools do this. Perhaps schools feel that it makes them look better? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I think it's to make the rejectee feel better.</p>
