There are several numbers:
Number of applicants
2009 - 47046
2008 - 47365
Number of applicants accepted
2009 - 17679 (38%)
2008 - 19717 (42%)
Number of accepted applicants matriculate
2009 - 3749 (21%)
2008 - 4292 (22%)

Each year, the colleges determine their target enrollment. It looks like UCSD is targeting 3600 for this year. Based on past year’s matriculation rate, UCSD will probably accept ~17000 applicants which is about ~35% acceptance rate. If ~21% of those accepted applicants matriculate, UCSD will meet their target enrollment.

Check out the PDF where I copied the data from.
