I think they passed Cal in straight #s before this year. But higher acceptance rate bc yield is lower.

Yes, many years now that’s been the case. UCLA > UCSD > UC Berkeley. LA and SD consistently #1 and #2, UCI or Berkeley #3 or #4 depending on the year.

Heard UCI is out

Accepted for Statistics (1st choice)! 4.0 UW/4.8 uncapped weighted. In-state at competitive Bay Area high school (public). NMF. Activities included a couple research activities (major-related), president of 3 clubs, school organizing committee, national leadership with YMCA, and some social-justice related volunteering. Can’t objectively rate PIQs but well-reviewed by those who read it. No hooks.
