How can you have 21% for Fall and 30% for both Fall and Spring?
What is the ratio Spring:Fall?
When I applied last year, I don’t think there is an option to apply for Spring entrance.

Amdahl’s Law suggests this scenario is close to impossible. (And I can’t believe I know what Amdahl’s Law is) The reporter seems to be confused or stupid or both.

48,634 applications total
12,943 acceptances total (fall + spring)
10,498 fall acceptances
2,445 spring acceptances

2445/12943 *(.7) + 10498/12943 *(10498/48634) = 30%

So spring acceptance rate must be 70% to yield overall 30% acceptance rate. This is so silly. UC Berkeley accepts 1 out of 1.4 applicants now?
