<p>Lets say that someone applied to a bunch of UCs, lets just say UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCD, and UCSB to pick a few.</p>
<p>Okay, now to the adcoms, how would that look? Would the adcoms at say UCLA look with disfavor on a person who applied to so many ucs and not admit them just because they stood a good chance of getting in to A uc? </p>
<p>Do any of you think the number of schools you apply to within the UC system hurts your chances at some of the upper division schools, to be specific???</p>
<p>I applied to all and got into all (somehow). I had friends apply to many and get into most. After the fact, the school get breakdowns of the other campuses acceptees by grades, test scores, number of honors and AP classes, and who knows what else, but before that, they probably have a good idea of who will take you and if they give you a scholarship, but there isn't much reason to conclude that they conspire by asking who's taking who- they can guess, but that's it. They probably don't even know which school you applied to (besides their own).</p>
<p>they don't know which UC's you do or do not apply to. For all they know, you'r eonly applying to UCD (whatever school). so, there's no effect. They don't get a list of which UC's you're applying to. ever.</p>
<p>well, in addition to getting acceptees, i think they get breakdowns of rejected applicants, so in that manner, through statistics, you are recorded one way or the other, but the stats don't take into account you personally, merely some numbers you helped produce.</p>
