Weaker ones get in at a lower rate. The one number on the page hides both. It also does not cover one major.

UCLA drew 145,903 applications in this file. When the pool grows and the class size stays the same, the rate falls. The college did not get any harder to get into.","One form that reaches many colleges helps explain this. A student fills out one application and sends it to many campuses.
