According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling, in 1990, 9% of college freshmen applied to seven or more schools. By 2016, this percentage had increased to 35%. Some of the biggest schools receive tens of thousands of applications and enroll over 50,000 undergraduate students. Every year, accredited American colleges and universities are required to submit admissions data to the Department of Education. More than 7,500 institutions complete these surveys each year. CNBC Make It recently analyzed 2018 admissions data in order to identify which schools receive the most applications each year. We found was that the one school system, and 10 universities in total, stand out for receiving the most applications — by far.

UCLA reported that it received 102,225 undergraduate applications during the 2017-2018 school year, that it accepted 16.1% of those applications and that 36.7% of those admitted chose to enroll at the school. Overall, schools within the University of California (UC) school system report receiving a dizzying number of applications — UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis each receive more than 70,000 applications each year. Many experts attribute the massive number of applications to online application portals such as the common application, which make it easier for students to apply to several institutions at once. Indeed, one reason the UC system receives so many applications is simple: students are able to apply to all nine universities with one application.
