Why did SO MANY people at my school get accepted?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Lots of school in the San Jose Bay area get > 50 acceptances at Berkeley, so is that a big deal.</p>

22

<p>South Bay public schools has a high concentration of Chinese students, that is why :)</p>

23

<p>unlimitedx, my senior class (in south bay lol) has a total of 3 Chinese students. Somewhere between 25-35 students have gotten into CAL (I've heard conflicting reports lol) out of apprx 135 students. </p>

<p>CAL admits haven't been very surprising, but UCI and USC has been really random this year.</p>

24

<p>I'm not from the South Bay, though many of those high schools do send many to Cal.</p>

<p>Nothing like my poorly funded public alma mater from San Francisco.</p>

25

<p>Only one San Francisco public high school can claim 90 Berkeley acceptance each and every year, Lowell.</p>

<p>One does not just elect to go to Lowell, the students are tested and selected from the academic elites of San Francisco.</p>
