Why do the UCs have low graduation rates?

So let me get this straight. The UCs (especially UCB and UCLA) are some of the most prestigious schools in the US but they accept unqualified students?



No. If you’re unqualified, you cannot even apply… there are exceptions though.

If you want to graduate in four years, you will. They are very strict on that and if you intend to stay longer, you will need a valid excuse. You cannot stay at Berkeley after 8 semesters without permission.

Also, double majors can also be granted an additional semester to finish their requirements if they are eligible.
