<p>Is it true that most people get into one or the other but not both?</p>
<p>So if I got into UCLA there is a higher chance that I won't get into UCB? Or if i got into UCB then theres a higher chance that I won't get into UCLA?</p>
<p>I've heard of that before too. And actually I know two people who got into UCLA and not UCB, and one person who got into UCB and not UCLA. ::shrug:: who knows...</p>
<p>Most people that make one, will make the other.</p>
<p>I think that's just a rumor... though things like that can happen.</p>
<p>Applications are reviewed indepently; each campus will not know what other campuses you applied to.</p>
<p>It's just a rumor. We'll never know for sure. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I think people just like to use it as an excuse for why they get into one and not the other. I think if you are qualified for one, you are probably qualified for the other.</p>
<p>I hear they do that in order to get higher yield. Just a rumor.</p>
<p>It's just a lie. Common sense alone should tell you that getting into one means you have a good chance of getting into the other...</p>
<p>hahah i wonder who made up that BS. tons of my friends from last year got accepted to both schools- as well as people who only got into one. both are excellent and to suggest this seems juvenile.</p>
<p>Tell you the truth, Berkeley being Berkeley ( very liberal adcom ) would sometimes admit a student UCLA has rejected. That is not uncommon. Also this has been covered ad naseum before but I just say it again, with all due respect to UCLA as one of the top public schools anywhere, Berkeley is ahead in more nationally-ranked departments than UCLA, and has more international recognition than UCLA. The two schools are not equivalent.</p>
<p>holistically the two colleges are not equivalent. berkeley is a "HYPSM" in the graduate school world. </p>
<p>however, for the undergrad, the experience isn't too different, and the quality of the students at each school aren't too far off either. </p>
<p>there are many students at both schools got who into the other. there are also many students at both schools who didn't get into the other.</p>
<p>Berkeley may be more prestigious, but the admissions are very similiar. In fact, UCLA has a lower acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Because more people apply there. Because it's a better environment.</p>
<p>If there is a relationship between the two I doubt it's all that big. But I'd be happy to get into UCLA or UCB, no matter which one.</p>
<p>btw when berkeley said they will notify the decision on the evening of march 30th................... what is the time ca standards....because im on the east coast and i dont wait because idk what time it is in ca</p>
<p>California time (PST) = East-coast time (EST) minus 3 hours :rolleyes:</p>
