I am an international student at CCC. I would like to ask about acceptance rate of asian-american students to UC Berkeley. Why their acceptance rate is highest rate any other ethnicity ? It is very interesting because we are (international students) paying triple tuition but schools have SO LIMITED seats for us. It is very painful.
All the California public colleges cannot use ethnicity when considering admissions. So the Asian population at UC Berkeley is HIGH, perhaps one of the highest in the nation. I think it is around 40%. And since UC Berkeley is looking a budget shortfall, they are starting a accept more international students for money
Dude I hope you are right but really this link is hurted me A LOT ! My bestfriend is asian-american and he is really nice dude but when I see UC Berkeley's acceptance rate statistic, I felt so bad. I said to myself "You have no chance to get in this dream school".
I wish I could born as an asian-american for get in to UC Berkeley !
The fact that there is a high percentage of asians at UC Berkeley does not mean that they get into the school more easily. UC Berkeley is race blind, and so those that are accepted are accepted on the basis of their merit only. And is it happens, Asians are generally more qualified, and so are accepted in higher numbers.
UCB is race blind. Your statistics are not enough information to conclude otherwise, due to the fact that it does not show their qualifications. As Rick said, Asians are often more qualified than other races applying.
