<p>"University of Phoenix has more students than UCLA has applicants. "</p>
<p>That doesn’t mean that U of P is a popular university. Let say hypothetically 30,000 apply a year and they accept 28,000 and all the students attend then its total undergrad population will still be greater than 50,000 but the amount of applicants doesn’t necessarily equal that of UCLA’s. If you think about it, if UCLA accepted all 50,000 + applicants then UCLA could have 200,000 students give or take a few thousands for those who don’t attend.</p>
<p>Most people try to point out the bad stuff about UCLA but if you must look beyond that, UCLA does have a lot to offer that other schools can’t.</p>
