<p>Apparently, 70,000 students applied to UCLA this year (not including transfer and international students). How many students does the school usually admit per year, and how many students can they actually enroll?</p>
<p>Also, good luck to everyone who applied this year (including me)! THREE MORE DAYS.</p>
<p>UCLA has capacity to enroll 5,425 freshman each year. California funds for 4,000 residents and the remaining capacity is made up from non-resident students (1,425).</p>
<p>For Fall 2012, UCLA implemented the waitlist process. The campus received 3,850 California resident SIR and pulled 150 California residents off the waitlist, meeting the 4,000 California resident enrollment target.</p>

<p>Here are the stats from last year:</p>

<p>It appears from the chart in the link provided that more than 5,425 enrolled last year (perhaps higher yield than anticipated). There’s no telling if UCLA will reduce their admit rate, as it needs all the students it can to pay tuition due to the budget cuts, but with the increasing number of applicants and the target number of admits I feel the rate would have to go down at least slightly. Also not sure how these huge freshman classes can be fully accommodated (i.e. there’s going to have to be even larger class sizes than existing now), less resources floating around for each individual student.</p>
<p>I noticed that as well, although it is at least lower than 2011’s ([Profile</a> of Admitted Freshmen, Fall 2011 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_fr/Frosh_Prof11.htm]Profile”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_fr/Frosh_Prof11.htm)). There are about 1,000 less CA admits (probably to prevent another 2011 overcrowding) and about 700 more admits for both international & out-of-state each (where I’m guessing the overadmits came from for 2012). Hopefully they’ll strike a better balance this year - I agree that the budgets cuts are hitting the UCs hard.</p>
