YCIS Chongqing Enjoying a Banner Year for University Acceptances
Our senior IBDP students
continue to receive offers
from universities around the world,
despite some challenging
conditions for acceptance rates,
particularly in the US market.
Background
Many universities in the US continue to break records for the number of applicants that are applying for limited spaces. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), for example, received a record 149,000+ applications for just 12,000 spots, an acceptance rate of 8.8%. In another example, Boston University received 80,492 applications for just 3,100 seats, an admittance rate of just 10.7% (including transfer students). Even the University of Wisconsin, an excellent public university in its own right, accepted just 12% of applicants this year. Needless to say, US universities have been exceedingly difficult to gain entry to in the past few years.
Despite this, one of our students received an offer to study at UCLA, a tremendous success for her and the school. Additionally, YCIS Chongqing enjoyed our first acceptance ever at Cal Berkeley, consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities on the planet. The UK’s Times Education Supplement ranks Berkeley at #8 on its global university rankings, while the US News and World Report ranks the school at #4 in its ‘Best Global Universities’ list! Needless to say, both these acceptances are rare and highly sought after by students and schools.
