Offical Merced Admissions Thread!

<p>

I drove by it on my way to Davis. UCMErced is literally in the middle of nowhere. You have to go visit it to believe it. Don’t get too excited over the “on the spot admissions,” even if you are rejected from every UC you applied to, Merced and Riverside will extend its admissions to you (assuming you meet all UC bare requirements), whether you applied or not.</p>

<p>At least, that’s what happened last year.

</p>

<p>The same thing will probably happen this year; I looked at some admission stats for some of the lower-tier UC’s, and the admissions are actually getting easier!</p>

<p>Example: For UCSC:</p>

<p>For 2005, 30% of people with a GPA between 3.0 and 3.24 who applied got accepted.</p>

<p>For 2006, that figure was over 65%! </p>

<p>Same story with UCR, UCD, and UCI.</p>

<p>i heard Merced has a nice campus… since it’s pretty new, the dorms shouldn’t be too bad right??</p>
