<p>In 2001, there were 3316 applicants. The acceptance rate to EECS was 11%. 261 enrolled, equivalent to 70.1% yield. Incoming students were told they were more selective than ivy, and the yield was better than almost all ivy that year. It’s sad that Berkeley EECS isn’t what it once was. At the time, you tell anyone you’re in EECS, even within Berkeley, it’s enough to wow a lot of people.</p>
