<p>thanks and sorry changbj88, you're a great friend!</p>
<p>omg that is very upsetting....if my friend made and i didnt............i would be so mad................changbj88 time to beat your friend up....p.s. use a bat...make him feel the pain your feeling right now...lo</p>
<p>I think 4625 is a bogus number because there is NO WAY UCLA can be more selective than Harvard. It's a public school, for goodness sake. UCLA undergrad is much more than 5000 x 4 = 20,000. WAY MORE. (And notice how I'm rounding up.) </p>
<p>Transfers cannot make up half of all admits. </p>
<p>The system is skewed. </p>
<p>(I'm just a mad passerby who's been caught in the crossfire of classmates' "DID YOU GET IN YET?" and similar rantings. I didn't apply.)</p>
<p>changbj88, brian, deserved to go to UCLA more than some of the other people who got in from our school...(patience)</p>
<p>haha... i had traffic school with kristen.</p>
<p>Woo! I made it!</p>
<p>I'm really sorry to all those who didn't get in; I hope you each end up at a school you'll love, even if it isn't your first pick at this point in time.</p>
<p>Just stopped by to say congratulations to those that made it in. For those that were rejected, it's not the end of the world. Don't fret too much over it. Good luck and best wishes to everyone again. I have a yet to wait a year before college insanity begins. Well, it's beginning already. Sort of.</p>
<p>i got rejected</p>
<p>go bruins! :-D</p>
<p>transfers do make up half</p>

i got rejected. i dunno. my sat scores, tho not up to par with the ivy, and my other stuffs are definitely up to par with ucla. well i never cared about getting in anyway. so <em>shrug</em>. the only thing that worries me is that there's no way an ivy's gonna take a ucla reject...

<p>Bingo.</p>
<p>It's kinda upsetting.</p>
<p>w00t acceptance. For all those rejected, don't feel bad cuz 9.8 percent is a LOW acceptance rate, its almost ridiculous. I'm feeling crazy, so I'll flat out say its extremely ridiculous. don't let it get you down.</p>
<p>i dont get it.... REJECTEd. i was born there, both my parents went there, i do research there every sunday, i wrote my personal statement about ucla research, and my stats are not bad (4.04, 2110, 790, 760). my #1 choice out of 10 schools.. GONE.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate is not 9.8, you guys are hilarious.</p>
<p>When 5000 people are accepted, they accept around 2x this amount because not everyone will attend UCLA. I'm guessing UCLA's yield rate is around 50% (probably), so they probably accepted around 10,000 people. 10,000/47,000 is low ~20% (21-22)</p>
<p>Oh, I was rejected as OOS. I'm bitter, whatever.</p>
<p>Perhaps you all should post stats to aid people that want to attend in the future?</p>
<p>1400/2120 (I got 1480/2200 in January, but too late to send?), 710, 750 on SAT IIs.
UC GPA: 3.8 or 3.9 UW, and 4.0 W
Extracurriculars: Study Abroad, Club President, Cross Country, Volunteer, blah blah.
Essays: I admit, these were HORRIBLE (the UC deadline is way too early! okay, there I go making excuses again...)</p>

<p>...Rejection</p>
<p>The acceptance rate is NOT 9.8%. This happens every year because of a misreading of the letter sent. The 4625 is the number they expect to enroll not the number admitted. Its typical yield (those who enroll divided by those admitted) is usually in the 37% to 38% range and that 4625 expected enrollment figure (which is an increase over prior years) means it likely admitted about 12,000 for 2006 and the admit rate is likely close to a 25%.</p>
<p>Exactly, if you look at their site, the acceptance rate is about 25%. And considering the vast majority of applicants are from CA public schools which rank well below those in most States, the competition can not be compared to that at ivies.</p>
<p>I would have to agree, it would be the highly unusual applicant that we be rejected by uCLA and accepted be an ivy, but there will be a few with connections/legacy, urm, or super ECs which LA didn't get in their quick reading.</p>
<p>What's the acceptance rate for out of state? I see out of state students make up only 5% of the student body.</p>
