University of California admits a record number of California freshmen for the fall of 2023
The University of California has admitted an unprecedented number of California students for the fall of 2023, with 88,285 first-year applicants coming from the Golden State alone.
“We are just ecstatic that we’ve been able to strategically expand that access while balancing a focus on quality,” said Whittingham. In an amicus brief filed to the Supreme Court, the university stated that “despite its extensive efforts, UC struggles to enroll a student body that is sufficiently racially diverse to attain the educational benefits of diversity. The shortfall is especially apparent at UC’s most selective campuses, where African American, Native American, and Latinx students are underrepresented and widely report struggling with feelings of racial isolation.
UC also opened its doors to slightly more transfer students, with 153 more admitted this fall compared to last. Of the 27,761 transfer students admitted, 89% of them came from California’s community colleges.
