<p>Wow, that was MOST interesting. Thank you for posting and a big thank you to Ms. Sun for her investigative research. This is the first proof I have seen that the campuses do share admissions information, though not sure if they have always done so. I am not sure what to conclude from this, and not sure why this process would be a disadvantage to UCSC applicants as emphasized by Ms. Sun:</p>

<p>Presumably UCSC offers admission to students who were not offered admission to the top two campuses? I wonder what Berkeley’s “tool” was that caused concern?</p>
<p>One problem I see is that kids sometimes apply to different majors at different campuses, depending on the program. The process as described would seem to indicate that applications are reviewed without regard to the designated major. How can a score for the engineering major at UCLA be compared to a score for a biology major at UCSC?</p>
