@chantal225 That’s fine! These things tend to get messy really quickly when you’re dealing with like 5-10 schools…
@hereiamcorn I was accepted to all the UC’s, and I know many people in my area that were, so I don’t think it is true.
thanks!
Anyone know what time the decisions are coming out?
@anianipop plz search the page before asking the question that has been answered 10,000 times. 3-5 PM PST is the guess.
I had a weird dream last night that I got into Berkeley and I immediately bought the most expensive car and outfit and clothes with my new money (apparently I thought that the acceptance letter was financial success and wealth). I’m weird. I did enjoy my time though.
Cal is my reach school. I would be thrilled to be accepted but very happy to attend UC Davis if I don’t. Good luck to everyone on Thursday!
Does Cal have admissions more similar to UCLA or UCSD? I was accepted as a ChemE major for UCSD, but flat-out rejected from UCLA, what does this mean for my chances at Cal?
I was accepted as ChemE into UCD as well
@371692 Nothing. Cal and LA are different in their admission processes although they have similar acceptance rates.
@Darbytup I don’t think they let you apply without meeting the a-g req. The system might show error incomplete info.
@IBGuy101 What time do decisions come out again??? Just kidding 
For my school’s white applicants (and it doesn’t vary much between races), the kids applied/accepted is 17/30. Does this mean Berkeley likes applicants from my school or…?
@Anubis13 Colleges like to brag about how many high schools throughout the world they accepted kids from. They will only accept that many from your school if the students there are actually very high caliber.
I got very lucky and accepted on February 12th to Berkeley but got flat rejected from UCLA on Friday- everyone stay positive! I thought Berkeley was a huge reach but these decisions can totally surprise you!
Yikes! 42/5
@Momobear I am not sure if the stats are exactly accurate. For my HS, it showed that 7 applied, 1 accepted for previous year however, I personally know that there are 3 people accepted from my HS last year. So the stats are definitely not accurate for some schools or at least outdated (aka , not updated this year yet to reflect the acceptances of previous year or that maybe the 3 from my school was from off the waitlist and the data shown was just straight acceptances)
@Desiree2 where are you getting these stats from?
I heard a rumor that UCB and UCLA communicate with each other so that if you are accepted by one school, you are much less likely to be accepted to the other. In my experience, while I’ve heard of people getting into one but not the other, many people do get into both. Can anyone confirm or refute this rumor? Also, any ideas as to where this rumor stems from?
Anyine kniw or have esrimates as to the acceptance rates to Berkeley for those who were also accepted to LA?
Any responses or speculations would be much appreciated! I’m a little anxious since I’ve been accepted to Electrical Engineering at UCLA and am REALLY hoping for Berkeley EECS! Thanks, everyone!
@FlyingLark Rest assured that this rumor is most likely not true. UCLA and UCB are both very competitive schools, especially in engineering, and many applicants are not lucky enough to get into both. This is how schools like the ivy can have sub 10% acceptance rates yet 75% yield - many applicant that gets in to such a school only get into a single one . When the programs get this competitive, there will be A LOT of borderline applicants who may not be lucky enough to get into both schools.I personally know many brilliant individuals who have gotten into both.
Since you are applying for UCB EECS, you must know that your chances statistically are not great. Now assuming that there is no conspiracy going on in the UC system, you should have a much greater chance of getting UCB EECS as UCLA thought you were a great applicant. Not that that is a promise that you will get in, but it won’t hurt. The UCs do not benefit from the prestige gained by having yield protection. They are a public school system and already have more than enough applicants.
@FlyingLark Well, pretty sure they don’t since there is a lot of people getting in both. However, UCB engineering is much more competitive than LA engineering, so UCB EECS would be much tougher to get into than UCLA EECS.
