<p>hmm…what was the acceptance rate for UC Merced for Fall 2009? what about low-yield schools in general?</p>
<p>that’s a trick question! Only the top 12.5% of the graduating seniors in CA qualify to apply…</p>
<p>So which is the correct answer: UCM is a 90% acceptance rate university, or 90% of 12.5%?</p>
<p>i’m not quizzing you guys…</p>
<p>i was merely wondering if the acceptance rate for UC Merced went down or not</p>
<p>It is my understanding that Merced accepts every qualified student that applies.</p>
<p>For Fall 2008, the acceptance rate was 82% [University</a> of California - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/selecting/camp_profiles/camp_profiles_ucm.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/selecting/camp_profiles/camp_profiles_ucm.html) , but - as mikemac says - it is likely that the 18% not admitted were not UC-eligible. I don’t believe the 2009 rate has been published yet.</p>
<p>ok, I found the link for 2008 admissions. I think they’re doing the same this year.
</p>
<p>As far as I knoe, UCM was still underenrolled last year. If you did not get in to your preferred UC and still want to attend a UC and want to apply to UCM, you need to apply by appeal since the priority application period has ended, see

<p>^haha i’m not a senior…just an interested sophomore</p>
<p>is UCM better than UCR or UCSC?</p>
<p>computer science, biology, or those kind of majors.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate are usually released in May. Due to the California budget cuts for colleges I wouldn’t be to surprise if the acceptance rate are lower than last year.
Here is some news about the application rates:

I don’t know about UCR or UCSC but, UCM has a natural science program, engineering pro, and a social science,humanity, and arts program. Biological science and bioengineering are the two top majors in UCM.
