...prevalent as in the freshman yards. With 78 candidates for eight UC seats, a mere 10.3 percent of first-year hopefuls will see their campaigns end in triumph, as compared to over 50 percent for their upper-class counterparts. To students only months removed from the college admissions rat-race, those odds might seem uncannily familiar. “Sounds like they’re trying to get into Harvard again,” said Patrick M. Mulvaney ’10.
