UCSD’s graduate programs accepted a few more students this year than last year, with 1,279 new students over last year’s 1,263, according to Institutional Research Officer Michael Weinfield. The Jacobs School of Engineering and Rady School of Management were the only programs that had more admits compared to last year, with other programs — arts and humanities, biological sciences, international studies, Scripps, physical sciences and social sciences — experiencing a decrease in admits.
Out of 5,559 applicants, the UCSD School of Medicine accepted only 277, a 5-percent acceptance rate.
However, UCSD students who want to go to the SOM should be worried: the acceptance rate for UCSD med school has been slowly decreasing, according to a 2011 report by the UCSD Career Center. In 2010, 11 percent of medical school applicants were admitted, while 9 percent were admitted in 2011.
According to the SOM Admissions Officer Brian Zeglen, each class now consists of 125 students instead of the 134 students they would have registered five years ago, in order to “give students the best experience.”
UCSD’s Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences plans to release its 2012 official registration report on Nov. 1.
According to the Final Registration Report, 59 PharmD students enrolled out of an accepted class of 60 students.
