<p>Funny you should ask about UCSB. I studied there for a summer of my junior year in high school. In my opinion it is not a selective institution. Also, those I know view it as simply a party school. I appreciate the statistics and your argument; however, your logic only works if I view UCSB as a selective institution. My experience there as a student and what others say about the school leaves me with the notion that UCSB is not a selective institution. I realize the two schools are very analogous in statistics. You may think UCSB is a selective institution because it is much more well known and overly spoken about.</p>
