First UCLA announced in their decisions that less than 10% than applied were admitted and today in my rejection letter from UCSB, exactly 10% were admitted. Its basically ridiculous, isnt 3,800 people an extremely small freshman class, espescially for a public school? Does anybody know what is up with the alarming rate of rejection this yaer?
<p>no thats not the acceptance rate, thats their targetted number for the freshman class.</p>
<p>for example:
last yr ucla accepted 10,577 - a lot more than half of their targetted 4,300 spots, it's because they know their yield rate is less than 50%</p>
<p>last yr ucsb accepted 18,744 so a lot more than 3,800 due to low yield rates...</p>

<p>seacow: You have your stats wrong.</p>
<p>UCLA acceptance rate 20 to 25%--as always.</p>
<p>Less than 50% will actually enroll--as always.</p>
<p>UCSB is actually higher admit rate than UCLA. Check your US News for basic stats which are almost always the same year to year.</p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>oh ok i see, i totally read into it wrong. all i saw were two numbers and i forgot to figure in the fact taht they over-enroll. thanks guys.</p>
<p>over-accept u mean, ya...</p>
