Yah, they probably had raw data
But we were completely freaked out when we saw the numbers back in Dec. and told our D to apply to a lot more colleges. lol
â The UCâs have capped the # of OOS and International applicants which leaves the majority of spots for CA students. â
Do you happen to know where they capped at? I know UCSD used to have 50%+ OOS acceptance rate a few years ago.
Thatâs the acceptance rate for OOS students but still the raw numbers are much lower.

Here is the article about the Cap on OOS/International enrollment. UCSDâs cap is based on the 2017-2018 Academic year. I know it is over 18% but under 22%, not sure of the exact number.

So that 18% is the OOS students enrollment rate? I assume the yield for OOS is pretty low since UC tuition is one of the highest, with 30% yield, the acceptance rate for OOS would still be over 50%?

Yes, the 18% is for OOS and International enrollment. For UCI, I have specific data and they had a 5.1% matriculation rate for OOS 2020 and 12.7% for International which adds up to around 18%. I have not found specific data for UCSD but I am still searching.

You canât deduce acceptance rate from the percentage of entering students that are out of state/intl.
What?
Acceptance rate is the number of students accepted divided by the number of students who applied. For OOS it would be the number of OOS students accepted divided by the number of OOS students who applied.

@2021collegeapp: I found the data under the Freshman admission summary so here it is for 2020 UCSD
OOS applicants: 16086
Admitted: 8955
Enrolled: 912
Matriculation yield: 10.2%
International applicants: 17156
Admitted: 5533
Enrolled: 659
Matriculation yield: 11.9%
Total= so 22.1 % which is around what UCLA and UCB are capped at for the OOS and International students.
I think you confused âyieldâ with âcappedâ. they are completely different things. capped number, imo, is the number of available seats for specific student group; yield is enrolled divided by accepted.
My understanding is the CAP set for the UC"s is for the # of enrolled students or percentage they are allowed.

Both of you are right. They manage their yield so that they donât go over capped numbers. And all schools usually try to stay under capped numbers by 2-3%

That is like more than 50% acceptance
Yep, high acceptance rate but low enrollment rate usually due to the high costs to attend. You would be surprised how many OOS and International students are unaware that the UCâs will not offer them financial aid.

If UC schools all release decisions on the same day, wouldnât that mean that UCSD would be not this week if they historically release on Fridays and (is it?) UCLA thats releasing this Friday 19th? So would it be more realistic to expect 26th?
gocha!
Iâve heard that they might start releasing during the week, but that can be anywhere between Mon-Fri. Since the decisions day has already deviated from the last years, we can base them on the trends, but they might be completely different. ig at this point, all we can do is wait and check the portal 4:30 each day (now thats an ingredient for anxiety)

I donât need financial aid thatâs why I didnât submit FAFSA form. Is it possible that UCs reject my application because of that. If anything is missing in the application do they contact you or reject the application.
We didnât fill out a FAFSA because we knew we wouldnât qualify anyway. My D got accepted to UCI without it so you should be ok.
