“Look, this is the third year in a row UCLA has had a lower admit rate than Berkeley.”
Ok but looking at just the admit rate can be misleading, I mentioned this in another thread as well on UCLA having the most apps. Since the UCs have a common app and you can just check the box to add any of them, UCLA gets, I’m going to posit, a lot more “let’s check the box and see what happens” applications than Berkeley, since it’s perceived as easier to get into than Berkeley. Now that could change since the UCLA admit rates are now lower. I’m not a UCB or UCLA grad though I know a whole lot of them
