The only bad sign at any point is a denial so you just keep waiting for a decision.
I see. But if this year theyāre doing it based on residency (because of the 3 day decision period), wouldnāt it be more practical to release the in-state decisions by Saturday as well, since in-state admits are independent of the 18% cap?
In the past years, Did UCLA maintain the higher yield for OOS and Intel students or IS students? The avg. yield is 50%. We need to sign up for housing and make deposit today.
If youāre talking about JUST yield, I can offer some insight from my school. We had a LOT of admits (for a variety of majors), and out of all of them, only 1 opted into UCLA because the folks who got into LA also got into Cal and Ivy League schools, so they chose to go there instead. Might be different for other schools, Iām just saying what Iāve seen.
So you are suggesting IS is lower yield? or are you OOS?
Based JUST on my schoolās data this year, Iād say thatās a fair assumption. But again, there might be some school thatās the complete opposite.
I hope you are right. This initial OOS wave was fairly large, so I hope the overall yield is low this year
Iām in state.

You implied OOS has lower yield, I think OOS has even lower yield this year as top private school offer more money to offset the out of pocket expense. My nephew only got a waitlist offer from the bottom ivy school.
No I think he (IS) is saying many from his school declined UCLA for UCB or other ivy leagues.
Iād honestly say this is a good sign for the in state waitlisted folks. Judging by the trends around me and the fact that they attempted to fill their 18% quota first with a fairly large wave (which honestly should be filled without too many issues already from the RD admits), I think the information here is suggesting the overall yield was low this year. BUT AGAIN, all of this is speculation and I could be 100% wrong lmao

They are an instate student and were referring to what was happening at their school. I am also instate and only one of the students who was admitted opted in. Therefore, I agree with them in what they were saying. Which, is that instate might have a lower yield.

Yea exactly
The Yield rate for OOS and International students has always been lower than in-state due to the lack of financial aid for these students.
@Stacie233 No, IS yield for 2023 was 61%, OOS was 32% and International was 35%. 2022 IS yield was 59%, OOS 33% and International 34%.

Yes, agreed!
Interesting. Just gotta wait and watch I guess.
I think regardless of whether or not OOS is lower in general, IS is likely lower than average this year.
Yea agreed. BUT AGAIN GUYS THIS IS PURELY BASED ON WHAT IVE BEEN SEEING, nothing verified here lol (just making sure thatās clear haha)

The data makes sense. With generous money offered at top private schools, CA students still pay more to attend the private schools than UCs.
The private schools still consider multiple college student factor, but UCs do not. Lots of CA middle class families will get less financial aid money starting this year. If they have multiple college kids, I donĀ“t think there would be many families can afford $80K per year on education. So In State yield will also be lower this year. I already heard some students who got into one of UCs decided to go CC transfer route or go to CA state universities.
