Why is UCLA so selective?

<p>He was in state, applied for bioengineering. I get what you mean; UCLA and the UC system in general seem to focus on stats more than HYPSM do, which is why I was so surprised when he was rejected. A good deal of people I know who I thought were locks to get in were rejected this year, perhaps just due to the large volume of applicants. I thought UCLA admissions would be more predictable as well, but the results this year seem to prove me wrong.</p>

<p>Cal rejected him as well :confused: Sadly he’s going to USC now, I have to root against him for the next four years :P</p>
