<p>Cpying my post from another thread-</p>
<p>UCB and UCLA’s admissions are independent from each other. Contrary to urban legend- it is possible to get into both, or be rejected from only one. It’s a bit of a mystery as to who or why. I noted in the last four years on UC’s own Stat Finder that those from public schools the southern part of the state have greater % acceptance to UCLA and those from the northern part of the state have a slightly greater % acceptance to UCB. I doubt this is entirely coincidental. It <em>may</em> have to do with yield rates, or it may be some other reason. The so-called ‘holistic’ admissions process has taken some of the rational and predictable out of the equation. On the plus side, it allows for some unusual and exciting admissions, but it turns away perfect stats-students.
That’s^ the long answer. The short answer is that YES, you might be admitted to UCB and not UCLA, even if UCB is the so-called ‘Ivy’ of the system. This is all that matters individually. You’ll know very soon.</p>
