My daughter was rejected for Pre-Psychology, which is fine. We knew it was a long shot because of the usual acceptance rate. Congratulations to all of you!

Do the UCs really do yield protect? I did not think so.

UC’s don’t yield protect.

In-state son rejected, computer engineering

It seems like UCD and UCLA do yield protect. Maybe the other campuses are adopting it, so that they can rise up in the ranking?

State schools often yield-protect, UC’s are known for accepting most qualified applicants, often giving out regents scholarships for the most qualified ones (UCM, UCI, UCR, UCB, etc.)

UCs don’t yield protect, but their admission process makes no sense sometimes. I just like to believe the AOs know if you’d be a good fit for their school or not.

i think UCs do yield protect. In 2019 my son was accepted UCD UCSD UCLA UC berkeley UCR and then waitlisted UCI . How does that even make sense? and he was accepted bioengineering at UCLA. Another kid at his school was accepted Princeton Berkeley and UCLA and also waitlisted UCI So they probably do protect yield.

Can I ask what her stats are

I didn’t think so.

Did they submit SAT scores since had National commended merit?

Thanks :slight_smile:
