[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Further trashing of the UC haters:

Acceptance rate for in-state applicants:

UCLA: 10.0%
Berkeley: 13.5%
UCSD: 26.5%
[b]UVA: 25.5%[/b]
Michigan - Ann Ar
bor: 39.5%
UT - Austin: 41.0%
UNC - Chapel Hill: 41.5%

Compare those stone cold facts with the respective OOS acceptance rates.

We’re supposed to believe that the institutions accepting a higher percentage of their population are better than the more selective ones that are accepting a lower percentage of their population? Yeah, OK.[/quote]

I'd gladly take the latter four schools over any of the UCs considering that they're all overrun by neurotic striver Asians.[/quote]

Not true.  uva's overall acceptance rate is  now 17%. For OOS it drops to 13% and down further at 7% for regular decision, OOS>[/quote]

Cal and UCLA don’t offer ED because they don’t have to game the system to maintain very high maintain yield rates.

If they did offer an ED option, their acceptance rates would likely plummet to < 5% and their yields would surge to > 85%.[/quote]

You would actually have a worse student body than before.  The applicants that would apply ED to Cal would be pretty bad.  There's probably a reasonable number of top students putting UCLA at the top of their list but not so much at Cal.  Stanford exists and if the student is really good, they will want to take a shot at it.[/quote]

Cal is overwhelmingly preferred by engineering students in the Bay Area. If they got into Stanford and if either their parents had liquid assets to pay or they got a free ride then they probably would choose Stanford but that’s a lot of ifs to align.

For instate students, I do wish they could rank or choose an ED and an alternative. There is no way on the UC app to show any affinity, connection or preference for one campus or another. The schools are so different from each other. There are in state kids who are UC or bust but AOs assume they’ll just go to a private university if they are from a wealthy zip code. [/quote]
