<p>so i called the admission rep to ask some question and she tell me that for fall 2010</p>
<p>GPA-4.00
SAT-1920
Percent accepted: 44.9%</p>
<p>do you think this can be true?</p>
<p>im suspicious for 3 reasons. </p>
<p>one isnt it too early to comply admission stats? dont most college wait until after SIR deadline to tell stats. </p>
<p>second i think the SAT score increase is way to big be true. fall 2009 the average was 1887 isnt 30-40 points in 1 year seem high?</p>
<p>thrid is gpa, how come the SAT goes up by alot and admission rate goes down but GPA stays the same?</p>
<p>on the other hand i think is is great the the admit rate only went down around 1.5% this year as opposed to the 5-7% decline the past 3-4 years :)</p>
<p>It can be true, but you never really know how the admissions officers decide. You can guess with your stats and obvious factors, but they may consider something about your application you’d never think of.</p>
<p>This is because there are simply too many davis applicants for the mean of the accepted students to shift 30-40 points in 1 year.</p>
<p>Also: I don’t think the SIR deadline matters because they do it off of admitted students, and don’t mention the actually attending students. Many students accepted with above 4.0 will go on to attend the top 3 UCs.</p>
<p>idk if she’s lying, but it could be plausible. after all, i think this class was the largest class to graduate, and UC admissions have become even more stringent than before.</p>
<p>just apply. : P and stop being such a neurotic premed.</p>
<p>you might get in, you might not. college admissions, like everyone’s been saying, can be incredibly arbitrary. i had a friend get rejected from UCD with a 2280 SAT, 3.8 UW GPA (and she took like, 5 AP classes). crazy right?</p>
<p>The UCs compile preliminary numbers after the admission decisions come out. The final adjusted numbers come out toward the end of summer that account for actual enrollment.</p>
<p>^From the emails they gave us. All UC’S had increased applicants, but SB had a tremendous amount of applicants this year. Acceptance rates cannot say which school is better, especially when they are that close. Still depends on major and department. </p>
<p>But, just analyzing SB. Lot of people with bad stats apply there (party school rep), more applications with bad stats= more rejections= lower rate of acceptance. </p>
<p>Davis still has the better overall stats of the mid tiers. SB made the biggest jump.</p>
<p>Mancini’s stats were from UCSB’s press release which include all applicants, while the Freshman Profile only includes California applicants. I don’t believe Davis has released stats for all applicants/admits.</p>
