<p>does anyone know what they do to pick their acceptances and rejects? i saw something about how Harvard decides who get in and was wondering how UCLA does it.</p>

<p>this is the best answer you will probably find since no one here works at the admissions office. </p>

<p>Admission is done with complex algorithms, computer models, and statistical analysis of all your essays against a huge database of award-winning papers.</p>

<p>Actually…no. They just have chimpanzees pick the applicants whose essays smell the most like bananas.</p>

<p>I’m kidding, in case you didn’t figure it out.</p>
