<p>Yes but there is something missing. Ms Sun speculates that UCSC won’t meet its yield target because most students who were admitted to UCB and/or UCLA, <em>and</em> UCSC probably will not choose UCSC. </p>
<p>I would have thought the smart people at UC would have anticipated this. </p>
<p>Additionally, there are some people in the decision thread with pretty good stats that were using UCSC as a safety and were not accepted. </p>
<p>Logically - it doesn’t work. Not if UCLA, UCB, and UCSC are all accepting the same pool of people as their top acceptances. Unless UCSC took <em>all</em> of the 3s that probably were not offered a place at the other two. And maybe left the 1s for UCLA and UCB.</p>
<p>As you said - we’ll find out tomorrow.</p>
