Thank you! I'm not too sure about yield protection, but I agree that UC admissions were very random this year :(

Yes this is right :,( over enrollment last year got UCs to be really careful with lower acceptance rate and bunch of waitlists this year.

UCLA doesn't yield

UCs and USC don’t practice yield protection. Yield protection doesn’t explain their crazy low acceptance rates. It’s just a matter of fit.

UC’s are also weird/different in what they look for..

啊啊谢谢你！

thank you 😭 I'm grateful for the schools i got into and I'm really not that bothered about my rejections, so it's totally fine! But I agree with you that yield protection might have played a factor. Either way, thank you for your kind words.

@@jisoolimx You're welcome! You have a very bright future ahead! Keep doing what you're doing!

haha yes

thank you and will do! go lions :)

You have to take into account the fact that they have a tremendous number of applications each year - in the hundreds of thousands for the most popular UCs. Every kid in California applies to at least several UCs, and many more accross the nation apply as well becauce California. UC Berkeley and UCLA in particular are amongst the very best universities in the country and the world, so there's that element of extreme competitiveness added to the mix.

probably too many asians in socal lmao

@@dogsidog0074too many international esp at ucla so prob too high competition I go to ucla

@@dogsidog0074 nah usc and ucla mostly whites and others by the percentiles. Truth really is that ucla take in lots of inter students so thats another factor, but ivies league also need to fill in on their inter students category so its easier for international students get accepted since its 15%+ of the freshman admissions.

@@ohmybilly9561 I was joking lol, but also asians make up 33% of UCLA while only 26% are white. A few years ago in 2014 it was almost 45% asian as well. But ye, your points are valid as well, also the UCs get full tuition from international students so they like that as well, hence why OOS often has higher acceptance rates

@@dogsidog0074 I get what youre saying im not mad or anything lol but i was at ucla the other day i seen mostly whites and others couldnt tell but theyre abt the same

0 😊

I'm an IB student, so instead of GPAs, we have IB predicted scores. I'm not sure if IB scores can be converted to GPA, but I would guess that it would equate more or less to a 4.0 unweighted.

i was pretty shocked as well because the some of the UCs were my targets/semi-safeties, while most of the ones i got into were reaches. i think with the test-blind policy and the overall increase in applicants this year UC admissions got a lot more competitive/random. there's also been people saying that it's yield protection but the schools themselves claim they don't yield protect, at least not in past years. either way college admission in the US is super random, and this just proves it i guess.

@@jisoolimx I got into a bunch of out of state colleges got into ucr csuf CSULA waitlisted at UC Davis and rjected from cal poly Pomona cal poly Slo ucsb ucsd UCI cal state long beach San Diego state I’m going to community then transfer

Probably she attended international school in China.
