[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%

UVA: 25.5%
Michigan - Ann Arbor: 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]

You are basing your ranking on admissions rates? You know how those are calculated, right? Oh my. I suspect this is a teenager from California.[/quote]

Another reason admissions rates are so low at CA schools have one application. Just one. Most selective schools that use that common app have supplemental essays, sometimes multiple, so you do the common app and then address each school separately. But the CA App is one and done. You can get waivers to add more schools and so on. They make it very easy to apply to many schools.[/quote]
