<p>Fall</a> 2014 application tables</p>

<p>The numbers are in. Transfer apps when down by .05% but freshman competition is getting increasingly harder. </p>

<p>Good Luck guys</p>

<p>I feel sad for the admissions officers who have to slog through tens of thousands of applications.</p>

<p>Hmm, if I understand correctly, there’s a number of seats set aside at these UCs for transfer students only. The rest are for freshman students.</p>

<p>Would this mean that transfer admissions this year will be slightly less competitive?</p>

<p>@Cayton, if you go thru the tables listed, transfer applications for all Campuses increased. UCLA is still @ 19K applicants. If anything, it’s just as competitive, if not more. The only unknown, yet most important factor missing is Average GPA applied this year. I would assume it has increased.</p>

<p>Aww crap, UCSD has the most increase in applications for transfers</p>

<p>@bhav007, sorry here is more info</p>

<p>[UC</a> San Diego Receives Record 89,169 Freshman and Transfer Applications for Fall 2014](<a href=“http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/uc_san_diego_receives_record_89169_freshman_and_transfer_applications_for_f]UC”>http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/uc_san_diego_receives_record_89169_freshman_and_transfer_applications_for_f)</p>

<p>Since transfers come in at the junior level, they are applying for separate pools of admission places. While the size of such pools can vary slightly depending on the retention rates of students originally admitted as frosh a few years earlier, it is by design that UCs (and CSUs) have enrollment capacity specifically for junior level transfers.</p>

<p>90k Personal Statements. Good Luck with that.</p>

<p>Although transfers overall went down by .5% (not .05%) transfers for California Community College students went down 2.1% - I wonder what if anything this means for our chances. Or, are hard numbers the more important factor. </p>

<p>According to this article:</p>

<p>Ah, my mistake. Sorry.</p>

<p>@ucbalumnus</p>

<p>Interesting info. Thanks!</p>

<p>I don’t understand, how can overall transfer applicants have gone down, but individually almost every UC had more transfer apps this year?</p>

<p>^ Yah, I don’t get it either</p>
