　　UC Berkeley和UCLA的州外学生录取名额今年强行锁定在去年的数目，一个都不能多…这意味着今年的申请数量远远大于往年，但录取数量不会增加，所以UCB和UCLA的录取率会比往年低很多，原本可能被录的学霸今年很可能拿不到offer。这种情况会导致很多学霸退而求其次，转申UCSD，而UCSD因总名额有限，学霸们的蜂拥而至又抬高了录取门槛……依此类推UCD、UCI、UCSC，所有的UC分校录取难度想想就头皮发麻…

　　但是！好消息是，UC同时宣布今年大肆运用waitlist系统，并很有可能从中录取很多学生。学校嘛这是打的一手小九九，想给州长施加政治压力，让州长拨款给学校并批准5%的学费涨幅；如果州长答应下来，UC很有可能出尔反尔，一边拿着州内拨付的经费，一边又继续招摇钱树，那么被waitlist的还有机会重见天日！
