<p>One bad thing is... they accepted a half number of last year...</p>
<p>Im so scared..............</p>
<p>If you go to UCLA site and click the admission decision, then u can see the </p>
<p>login page...but it doesn work for transfers,,,</p>
<p>Anyway...bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad</p>
<p>I'm guessing transfer results are not out yet?</p>
<p>do you have a source for that statistic? Accepting half of an absolute number doesn't make any sense (unless the worst fears about the budget cuts are coming true). Accepting half of the previous proportion makes a little bit more sense, but the number of applicants didn't increase 2x, it increased like 10% or something (if someone has the actual number, let me know). At the most I'd expect a 30% cut in the proportion or something, and that's assuming that a) UCLA is cutting their class size significantly (which we probably would have heard about), or b) UCLA knows something that we don't about admissions at other colleges more frequently preferred over LA that's going create immense spill over, and shoot their yield rates up.</p>
<p>i've put too much thought into this post.</p>
<p>transfer decisions comes out later..</p>
<p>More space for tranfers =]</p>
<p>Be optimistic</p>
<p>There's no way you can know how many they accepted this year unless you work for them... and it doesn't even make sense for them to accept half of last year..</p>
<p>u guys alwys takes goodnews without statistics, :/
this is 100% true
i will post the link which in UCLA about new student-_-</p>
<p>the accept rate is only almost 9%</p>
<p>And they first use Holistic Admission method like any other private universities</p>
<p>CCstudent88, i like your optimism! seriously, i'm going to believe that they're just realizing the supremacy of transfers so they are telling most of the freshman to come back when they have reached the level of awesomeness that we have :-)</p>
<p>jpoliver, you don't make a strong case saying random bs with broken english.
you also don't provide any evidence, so stop scaring other people. This is a tense time for all applicants.</p>
<p>and they did not accept half number of freshmen last year then 9% this year, I highly doubt you have those statistics.</p>
<p>University</a> of California - Admissions
^ those are last years, clearly not the "half" you said it was.</p>
<p>jpoliver--</p>
<p>that's a misleading statistic.</p>
<p>I also recall the 9% figure from the rejection letter I got from UCLA back in high school. </p>
<p>That figure accounts for students that UCLA expects to enroll in the upcoming academic year--however this number absolutely DOES NOT reflect the number of admission offers that UCLA sends out. </p>
<p>UCLA mentions over and over again that for freshman admissions, typically every one out of four applicants is offered admission. 1/4 = 20%, which is the typical "admissions rate" for freshman admits into UCLA. (cited from several UCLA publications..too lazy to search and link)</p>
<p>However, UCLA has determined that roughly 4700 of the students admitted will actually attend the school (cited from rejection letter 2008). Considering there were approximately 55,000 freshman applicants to UCLA this year, only 8.5% of students who applied to UCLA will actually attend the school in the fall. That is where your 9% figure is from. </p>
<p>So, if the 9% that was on my rejection letter in 06 was EXACT, that would mean a 0.5% decrease over two years...-0.25%/year--HARDLY an indicator of budget cut impact this year. That decrease, if anything, is only indicative of the rise of applicants year after year.</p>
<p>good statistics rchang,</p>
<p>and yeah, this whole thing where newbies are posting random BS and starting 1.2 billion threads on the SAME subject is getting quite irritating.</p>
<p>i just got a UCLA rejection letter they said they received 57,000 applicants and accepted…get this only 4,690 people…</p>
<p>Are you sure you’re reading correctly? They don’t mean only SPACE for 4,690 incoming freshmen? There’s a difference.</p>
<p>ya my mistake i meant to write spaces and here is the statement straight from the letter, “For fall 2010, we received more than 57,000 applications for 4,690 available spaces for freshmen.” still 4,690 spaces is very,very little…</p>
