College Admissions April Fools

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009


It looks like UC San Diego has a twisted sense of humor. In a terrible twist of internet fate, rejected UC San Diego applicants were emailed a college acceptance message congratulating them on their admittance and inviting them to tour the campus.college acceptance rates

UC San Diego just had their most college application submissions to date, with over 46,000 prospective freshman. The university typically accepts a little over 43% of applicants, but with such a large application pool their college acceptance rate dropped by almost 5%.

“JK,  rejects,”  says UC San Diego.

Within hours of sending out congratulatory emails to over 28,000 rejected students, the university college admissions office sent out apologies informing the students of their blunder and correcting the mistake.

What ever happened to no “backsies”?

College Acceptance Rates

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

 Figuring out college acceptance rates is easy with CampusCompare’s free “What Are My Chances?” app. Try “What Are My Chances?” now to find out your real chances based on college acceptance rates across the country.

College acceptance rates are an important factor to consider when deciding where to apply to college. College admissions officers typically have a ton of college applications to sort through, and for highly-selective colleges, there are certain criteria you must meet in order to make the cut. To save yourself unnecessary work, application fees and heartache, it’s important to ask yourself, “What are my chances of getting into college at this school?” before filling out a college application. It stands to reason - if you apply to colleges where your chances are slim, you’ll be less likely to receive that college acceptance letter in the mail.

There are plenty of free tools available to help you on your road to college acceptance. The lower their college acceptance rates are, the harder it will be to get in. Using CampusCompare’s apps will help you determine whether the school is a safety, reach, or target school for you. Be realistic about your goals and fill out college application forms in all three categories of colleges so that you can ensure college acceptance.
