Take this with a grain of salt, but our school counselors said that our (CA UCB Feeder) HS historically has almost no overlap between Cal and UCLA admittances, even kids that got into Harvard MIT and Stanford would only get into one of the two, and that it was intentionally done? Again this is just what they said.

Yeah, that is not true.

Yes, totally not true.

Cal's arrogance just screwed over a lot of students and is going to lead to a severe financial hit. Don't understand what they were thinking.

this is going to have a ripple effect on other UC's as well.

Based upon the facts in the reported piece above, I agree. They were told by the court and the regents to cap the student population and produce environmental impact studies and it didn't. Did it just think it could continue to accept students and the courts, neighborhood and Regents would look the other away?

UC Berkeley is called Cal by those in the know.

I haven’t been following this closely but I’m thinking as follows - Assuming, for example, 50% of 5,000 applicants losing their spots would have yielded (slightly hire than the overall yield rate because they likely would cut top students) that would be 2,500 kids yielding at places like UCLA unexpectedly.

*higher and *would not cut. Too late to be typing. I just read an article and it sounds like they were using a higher figure for yield - over 3000.

It's a typical overcrowded public school

It is crowded but not a “typical’ school.

California (unlike local states) has a government that cares about in state students and makes UC take a significant portion of them

+1. Michigan and Wisconsin have literally sold their flagships' seats to the highest bidders.

So this is totally unsurprising. Phil Bokovoy, the NIMBY behind this, is an anti Asian racist (see quotes about Berkeley becoming KUala Lumpur).

Because of course.
