<p>I'm not really sure how this statistic is helpful. It would appear that UCSB has a better percentage than Cal. Doesn't this % have more to do with the number of students who applied/got accepted than the actual quality of who will matriculate?</p>
<p>the +/- is the change between this year and last year. UCD had the largest change while UCSB has the lowest change in acceptance rates. The first statistic is the 2007 acceptance rate.</p>
<p>^thanks for explaining your system. :)</p>
<p>Still in looking at the quality of the accepted students for each school, isn't who actually matriculates the significant number? (UCD and UCSD certainly did tighten up their admissions this year as predicted)</p>
<p>I read that the year before last, UCD didnt accept enough students, so last year they over-accepted. I guess its a tricky process for the admissions department. </p>
<p>Even if they accepted too many students a few years ago, a 65% (or so) acceptance rate (to compensate for the prior year) is just far too high for UCD, no matter how you slice it.</p>
<p>Looks like everything is slightly above UCI except in student GPA's</p>
<p>The number of ELC students accepted by UCI can explain the higher GPA's combined with lower SAT scores.</p>
<p>collegemom16, </p>
<p>These stats are an indication of selectivity. As a rough estimate, if CAL is accepting 20% of all applicants it indicates high selectivity. Of course the number of applicants is another useful stat. It means one thing to accept 20% of a pool of 100 vs 20% of a pool of 10000. </p>
<p>If you are interested in quality of student body, then yes, matriculation statistics would be more pertinent</p>
<p>^Just as I thought thank you.</p>
