[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  UC Merced is about to crack the top 50.  According to their common data set, they have a 90% admission rate.  They are by far the easiest Top 50 school to get into.

I don't understand why only 9% of admitted students decide to enroll there!  What do those applicants who choose not to attend know what US News doesn't??????[/quote]
Rankings look at many things like student outcomes;  students look at things like location and "name brand" recognition.

Merced is in the middle of nowhere, central valley CA.  More than likely, those applying to Merced also apply to other UCs like UCI, UCSB, UCD, etc.. much better location than UCM.[/quote]

I watched a youtube vide of college acceptances from a CA resident and they reported getting into Merced despite not actually applying.  They had applied to other UCs, but not Merced.  I find that very confusing.[/quote]
Probably direct admits for high achieving students.  VA schools have that, too.[/quote]
