Hi all! I'm curious about the acceptance rates for UC schools. Is there a website or resource where I can find the most recent acceptance rates for different UC campuses? Thanks!
Hello! You can find the most recent acceptance rates for UC campuses on the University of California's admissions website. Additionally, individual UC campuses often have acceptance rate information on their own websites. For a quick overview, here are the approximate acceptance rates for some popular UC schools based on 2023 data (https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses-majors/freshman-admit-data.html):
- UC Berkeley: 11.6%
- UC Los Angeles (UCLA): 8.8%
- UC San Diego: 24.7%
- UC Santa Barbara: 27.9%
- UC Irvine: 25.8%
- UC Davis: 41.8%
- UC Santa Cruz: 62.7%
Please keep in mind that these acceptance rates are subject to change and may vary from year to year. Moreover, acceptance rates alone don't give a full picture of the competitiveness of these schools, so I would suggest looking into other factors, such as average test scores and GPA of admitted students, as well as class profiles for each UC campus. Good luck with your college search!
