<p>I think that UCLA’s slightly higher score does make sense when you look at the most recent freshmen admission stats. Here they are for Fall 2009. </p>
<p>UCLA 21.6%
UC Berkeley 26.6%
UC San Diego 37.3%
UC Irvine 42.3%
UC Davis 46.2%
UC Santa Barbara 49.2%
UC Santa Cruz 63.2%
UC Merced 77.8%
UC Riverside 78.3%</p>
<p>The average GPA, Act and SAT scores for incoming UCLA freshmen were 4.16, 29 and 2010. For Berkeley, they were 4.15, 30 and 2033. Remember that this only shows Fall admissions. If you take into account Berkeley’s Spring applicants (which it accepts at a much higher rate than its Fall applicants), you wind up with higher than a 30% acceptance rate versus 21.6% for UCLA. But of course, Berkeley also accepts far fewer transfer students than UCLA.</p>
