A UC rate here covers the students who applied under that major. At most campuses the decision is made by the campus, not by the business school. UC presents these figures as a general guide to selectivity, not as a predictor.","A campus with no first-year row is not closed to freshmen. It reported no first-year applicants under that name. Freshmen enter under another business major and apply into this one later. That is why the program column matters as much as the campus name."]},{"h2":"Thirty-two of these colleges report no rate","paragraphs":["Thirty-two of the 59 colleges here publish no admit rate for business. USC, Santa Clara, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount and Chapman are in that group. So are UC Santa Barbara and UC San Diego, which both have business programs in the federal data. A blank is not an easier door.","Among the campuses that do publish a rate, most doors are open. Fourteen of the 27 admitted 90% or more of their first-year applicants. Most of California's business capacity is easy to enter. Pay is what separates the campuses."]},{"h2":"What a family should do with this","paragraphs":["Read the program column before the campus name. Several Cal States admit into management or entrepreneurship rather than business administration. That is the program a student will apply to.","Match the campus to the pay rather than to the admit rate. UC Berkeley reports $144,599 four years out and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo $110,902. Those are the two highest among campuses that publish a rate. Cal Poly's door is open to more than a quarter of its applicants.","Put the price beside the pay. Cal State Los Angeles reports $62,716 four years out against an average net price of $3,967 a year. Chapman reports $84,378 against $46,555. Both numbers belong in the same decision.
