How is the acceptance rate calculated on the predictor page?

zsparc1 · April 2019

I just noticed that Berkeley claims to have had 6,039 Fall 2018 applicants, and they claim to have accepted 314 of them. This seems like it would result in a roughly 5% acceptance rate, rather than the 20% listed on the predictor page. Can anyone explain this apparent disparity? Does this mean they actually accepted around 1,200 applicants and 900 didn't accept their offers of admission?

Yep, 6039 applicants -> ~1200 admitted -> 314 final class size. In this scenario about 26% of admitted students take Berkeley's offer. We generally refer to that as yield rate.

I think 7Sage breaks it down better here:

Thanks, @eRetaker. We have even more data here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tUI5y-Sw2utvXvUEk9IQDzC1Rc0NDb7Q4PFwzxYkZpw/edit#gid=166071728.

It is pretty surprising to see that a school like Berkeley yields about 25% of their admits, don't you think?

Howdy, Stranger!
