<p>These have been posted or referred to in threads, but from the continued chancing threads, I thought a 'named' thread might be helpful.</p>
<p>Note that these are students who actually turned up in the fall, and the gpa may include senior year (unclear about that.) I'm pretty sure it is gpa as that campus calculates gpa (which seems to slightly vary.) These are lower than the gpas etc of 'accepted' students because some of the accepted students with the highest stats end up going elsewhere. I am going to put one of these in each campus forum.</p>
<p>argh, too late to change the post. I believe it is how many were admitted of the applicants in a ‘band of stats’ who applied, not necessarily who showed up. (I.e. I am not sure if ‘admitted’ means were accepted or who actually turned up in the fall.)</p>
<p>Collegevetting, Thank you for starting this thread.<br>
I jest went through UCLA, UCB, UCSD and UCD admitted pools and the data is very interesting. However, the actual applicants number doesn’t add up to the same number if I tally the numbers from GPA and other categories given.</p>
<p>As an example, for UCB, the total applicants are listed as 50,632. But if I add the numbers from GPA based admit rates, it is more than 60,000. Do you know why that is?</p>
<p>I don’t know, and the admitted number from the gpa stats is different from that at the top of the page as well. I wonder if they took the numbers at the top from a different calculation somewhere… it is puzzling. This is their official document, though, so all I can do is analyze it in context…</p>
<p>I did analyze the data further and came to conclusion that if one scores >700 for SAT Reading with GPA >4.0, there is a very high chance of getting admission… Perhaps not for Engineering.<br>
In 2013 the pool of kids with SAT reading score >700 is only 13,041 out of 62,900.
A student with high Reading SAT scores would tent to write a good essay too.</p>
<h1>5 and #6 seem to be roughly consistent with what going through UC Statfinder found when that web site was up. For those applying to Berkeley L&S majors, a 4.0 UC-weighted GPA and 2100+ SAT, or 4.2 UC-weighted GPA and 1800+ SAT, had a good chance of admission. For those applying to Berkeley engineering, a 4.2 UC-weighted GPA and 2100+ SAT had a good chance of admission (though the web site did not subdivide into different engineering majors, which have different selectivity levels). In neither case was admission certain, though (essay and such do count).</h1>
<p>Ijmom - re inflated grades for Palos Verdes – actually, it is just a very good, and wealthy, school district. I’m sure Berkeley knows that, and some schools with easy programs might not analyze the same way, but I would hope the tougher ones would.</p>
<p>Cupksdad.
it was just by process of elimination.
Almost everyone ~ 30,000 to 32,000 had >50+ a-g classes, 15+honors classes etc.
Also, the pool Math SAT with >700 is very high ~ 24,444.
Then I looked at the SAT CR and W pools; they are very small … and almost 50% of the kids with >700 SAT (CR) had gotten selected. My guess is that the rest (50% with SAT >700) may not have had <4.0 for GPA or no ECs.</p>
<p>My evaluation is very subjective, my son’s UC GPA is 4.1. As such, I am looking at what SAT score would bring him up to the top 20% or so. I think he has a good chance as he has high SAT > 700 on all sections. Only time will tell. I am keeping my fingers crossed.</p>
<p>txat5home, thanks for the Hout Report. I looked at this once and didn’t understand exactly how they get the read score.</p>
<p>I just looked at it again, and I was surprised by how much weight is given to participation in a "outreach program at Berkeley. That alone takes out almost 0.696 from your read score (that is the way I understand it). That far exceeds the bonus one get for having high SAT score that is <0.1.</p>
<p>Do you think they start with a score of 5 and keep subtracting points?
Do they still use the same system?</p>

<p>Thanks tx5athome for the site. it is an interesting article. Good thing about it is that the process is intended to look for giving bonus points.</p>
<p>I took a second look at the published UCB freshman profile for 2013 fall and carefully looked at the ACT data there. The total applied to UCB with ACT>31 is 8896. The number admitted is 3452. </p>
<p>ACT org also has the data published with total ACT takers from CA and their scores.
Based on the ACT org profile, the number of students with ACT scores 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 are 3260, 2166, 1728, 1231, 679, and 100, respectively. This number adds up to 9164.
This indicates that almost everyone who took ACT and had scores above 31 had applied to UCB except about 270 kids.</p>
<p>The admissions process for Laney college is simple: you apply, you are admitted. (Laney is a community college in California.)</p>
<p>The admissions process for most CSUs is also simple: calculate an eligibility index from HS GPA (calculated by UC/CSU method) and superscored SAT CR+M or ACT, then admit from the top down, rejecting only if the applicant’s major is full, the applicant’s campus is full, or the applicant does not meet minimum CSU eligibility.</p>
