<p>To what extent does getting accepted to UCLA imply that you will be accepted to UCB? Does anybody know? How often do people get accepted to UCLA and rejected from Berkeley, and vice versa?</p>
<p>I know there is no rule, and anything can happen, but maybe somebody has personal experience and can shed some light.</p>
<p>Getting accepted to UCLA (usually) implies that you're a competitive candidate. Other than that, I think there are too many variables to make any sort of prediction</p>
<p>for freshmen a acceptance actually decreases the chances of cal
i have no idea why so don't ask me but alot of my friends who got into cal didn't get into la and a lot who got into la didn't get into cal</p>
<p>There are people at Berkeley who were rejected from UCLA, and also people at UCLA who were rejected at Berkeley. There are also a lot of people who were accepted at both. (that's why there are so many UCLA vs. UCB threads on this website) The two schools have nearly identical admission rates for their accepted freshmen, so the same is probably true for transfers.</p>
<p>it could go either way but generally UCLA is easier to get into.</p>
<p>I have several friends that got into both UCLA and Cal. I go to a San Diego public high school. I got into Berkeley but not UCLA (I did get accepted to USC, but I find that that doesnt count!). Everyone who got into UCLA from my school also got into Cal, but not everyone who got into Cal got into UCLA, so it looks like UCLA either has more applicants, or is more particular. </p>
<p>BTW--it looks like class rank was the determining factor for UCLA--if you were in the top 4% of your class--you're in.</p>

<p>You answered your own question. There is no correlation between acceptance/denial at UCLA vs UCB. </p>
<p>Another useless thread on CC.</p>
<p>Haha whatever chang, it was useful for me. I had a question I was wondering about and some people were kind enough to share some info. Does anyone care that it wasn't useful for you? Is that relevant? I don't care either way. If it is so useless why did you take the time to post? To waste your own time? I think your reply was a lot more useless than my initial post. </p>
<p>Anyways, thank you everyone else for the replies.</p>
<p>I could be "useful" to you and tell you that my friend got accepted to UCB but denied to UCLA 3 years ago. But what does that prove? What does anything prove that someone posts here about a friend that got accepted/denied to UCLA or UCB? It proves jack ****. Your initial post already eludes to the fact that it is random. It is up to the UCs to decide whether or not a candidate is qualified to attend its university. Students that try to come up with statistics of people accepted/rejected to UCLA/UCB have such a small sample size that it doesn't prove anything.</p>
<p>Oh and I posted on this thread to let you know that it is useless. Not just to me, but a majority of people and I can guarantee that. And I can post here because I have the right to. Yes...yes so do you, but clear up the clutter. No one wants to see this useless garbage during an important period.</p>
<p>UCB and UCLA might have near identical acceptance rates for freshman admits but it is quite a bit harder to get into Berkeley for transfer.</p>
