Year-by-year data

All metrics for selected disciplines

Admit rate is recomputed from admits ÷ applicants; UC rounds its public numbers to the nearest whole percent, so small differences may appear.

A note on picking majors: Don't choose a major you're not genuinely interested in just to game the admit rate. Internal UC transfers between schools (e.g., into Berkeley's Haas or L&S Computer Science) often have admit rates below 10%, and major-switching at most UCs is restricted or competitive. Pick based on fit first.

Data source: University of California Information Center — Freshman admission by discipline. Each year label refers to the fall entering class (e.g., "2025" = students entering Fall 2025 from the 2024–25 admissions cycle). Admit rate = admits ÷ applicants. Yield rate = enrolled ÷ admits. Some programs with fewer than 5 applicants are suppressed by UC. This tool is for informational purposes only and is not a prediction of individual outcomes.
