Berkeley and UCLA do shared admissions?

My friend is telling me that they do shared admissions..meaning if you get into one, you "probably" wouldn't get into the other. Is there any truth to this?

well UC Davis has guarnteed admissions to comminuty college students as long as they fullfill the outlined GE requirements. So, maybe it only pertains to fresh from high school. Do you know when this rumour started, in what year?

Cause my friend got accepted to both as a transfer student. And out of high school, i got into both schools.

I've never heard of them being explicitly shared but oddly enough for Fall 99 admissions...a lot of my friends got into one or the other...same with Fall 98. Of course there are also a few that get into both places...so i dunno.

thats totally false. however, its true that all the uc admission ppl collaborate iwth each other. I had a friend who applied to just santa cruz, but they denied her but offered her acceptance to santa barabra

i don't think so since there are some 40000 people that apply to ucla alone. the admission rate to ucla and berkeley is very similar so seeing people getting into one school but not another is easy to explain. i know a lot of people that got into both, a lot that only got into ucla, and a lot that only got into berkeley. i don't think they have time to compare apps and share admissions. but then again, i'm not an admissions officer so i don't know any facts on the matter. btw i go to ucla, didn't get into berkeley >=(
 
me and two of my roomates got into berkeley and didnt go . there are a bunch of people that go to ucla who didnt get into berkeley, but i knew a bunch of people in high school who go to berkeley who didnt have a rats ass chance at going to ucla.



i had this feeling that berkeley had much more non academic standards than ucla, as everyone i knew that went there had like a million hours of community service or some other tradgedy made up or real...
