Thanks!
Based on a combo of last year’s yield numbers and the numbers this year, roughly:
Class of 6400 with 35% yield = 19,200 acceptances
19,200 / 97,000 applicants = 19.8 acceptance rate
Honestly, I’ve got no clue. A lot of people who should’ve been shoe-ins were denied or waitlisted from UCLA, UCSD, even UC Irvine; a few people got lucky. From my own sample of friends throughout various Bay Area schools it seems that the rate has dropped significantly.
I highly doubt it has changed that dramatically, it’s just that with UCLA, when they are getting as many applicants as they do (I think ~90,000 not including transfers), there are just A LOT of people in sheer numbers who don’t get in. Kind of crazy. This is the most interesting table of data I’ve seen in a long time. It has applicants/admits for CA, OOS, and International for the past 3 years, for all the UC campuses. http://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/factsheets/2015/fall-2015-admissions-table2.pdf
