<p>But still most of the people who apply are only from California, while for Ivys, people are competing from all over the world for those spots. Having merely low acceptance rate doesn’t said its harder to get in (is it harder to be top 300 in the state or top 1500 in the country/world). The high enrollment rate is because only small proportion of those who also got into Ivys or Stanford, MIT or Caltech aren’t going. And, because UC’s are a lot more affordable, unless the university is a lot better, people would still go to Berkeley. Ivy’s are sort of competing with each other for the accepted student, thus lower enrollment rate. A student accepted to a top Ivy is also pretty likely to get into other Ivys.<br>
How I know? My high school supplies at least 10 out of those 300 students.</p>
<p>Not going, but still Yay! I got in!
I was looking for these stats. It’s pretty awesome that 100% of the people from my robotics club who applied in the last 4 year for EECS got in.</p>
<p>Have fun at Cal!
I’ll be suffering with psets on the east coast.</p>
