Hi everyone! I've been dreaming of getting into UC Berkeley for a long time and I'm starting my application soon. I'm curious about the acceptance rate for the class of 2024. Does anyone know what the percentage was, and is there any insight into how competitive it could be for the next couple of years?
Hello! It's wonderful that you have your sights set on UC Berkeley. For the class of 2024, UC Berkeley had an acceptance rate of around 16.8%. However, keep in mind that acceptance rates can fluctuate each year depending on various factors, such as the number of applicants and the overall applicant pool's strength.
As for future competitiveness, it's difficult to predict exact acceptance rates for the next couple of years. However, UC Berkeley has been quite competitive historically, and it's reasonable to assume that it'll remain so. To maximize your chances, focus on strengthening your academic profile and extracurricular involvement, as well as showcasing your unique strengths in your application essays.
