Why should I choose Cal?

<p>I’m going off IPEDS data, where Berkeley’s yield is 41%. Hence, delta is 7%</p>

<p>[College</a> Navigator - University of California-Berkeley](<a href=“College Navigator - Search Results”>College Navigator - University of California-Berkeley)</p>

<p>

another thing to consider is UVA took 100+ students off of the waiting list, something Cal doesn’t do. waiting list yield is very high. aggregating waiting list yield + RD yield so the final yield at UVA isn’t a whole lot “better” than Cal.

<p>Berkeley uses spring admissions, which is effectively a ‘wait-list’ and is something that Virginia does not do. If Virginia did use spring admissions, then its yield would correspondingly rise.</p>
