Irvine: UC Irvine receives most applications in campus history for third year in a row.Davis: High Numbers Apply to UC Davis for Fall 2023.Berkeley: Record number of California residents apply to UC Berkeley.UC System: University of California announces application totals for fall 2023 admission.Below are press releases and related news article that have appeared so far: There was a slight decrease in freshman applications (down 2.1% from previous year) and a slight decrease in transfer applications (down 2.4% from previous year). UCs just released the Fall 2023 freshman and transfer application numbers. Applicants’ accomplishments should be celebrated, no matter the underlying factors.Current College Students, Current High School Students, Freshman Applicants, Transfer Applicants There’s no point in “mitigating the absolute grind” since the UCs’ current method of doing so will exacerbate the problem (as it essentially is doing so right now).
At these competitive high schools, kids will only be driven to accomplish even more, in light of the idea that the fact their home and overall motivation will literally be used against them, since they are essentially expected to do even more. Ultimately, this is not really the most optimal method. Undoubtedly, the average applicant at a Silicon Valley or Orange County high school generally has a better profile than applicants from other regions, yet they are almost penalized for that, as they are essentially receiving the same acceptance rate anyways. This indicates that the UCs do, in fact, take into account the region that their applicants are hailing from as a factor when making decisions.
Looking at some of the most academically/extracurricularly competitive school regions within CA, such as the Santa Clara/Alameda County (Silicon Valley) and Orange County, you’ll find that the acceptance rate for every UC is hardly higher at their specific high school than the overall acceptance rate for the UC in general. If so, I strongly feel like that is actually the case.
I’m not sure I completely understand, but are you saying that UCs, through their holistic admissions model, take into account the fact that some of their applicants are processed in the figurative “college applicant mill” in order to unauthentically(?) build a superior profile to make them attractive for college admissions. Undergraduate enrollment growth beyond the levels supported by State funds creates an ongoing challenge to campuses as they strive to maintain the quality of a UC education. Nevertheless, actual California resident enrollment growth has far outpaced the levels supported in recent Budget Acts. The resumption of State support for undergraduate enrollment growth has been a positive development. On page 37 of the above budget report, it states And that was in year one of the pandemic.
This Daily Bruin article from 2020 references the scope of financial loss experienced just at UCLA. The UC medical centers took a huge hit during the pandemic. Regarding income sources, 36% is from the medical centers while 22% is from Core Funds (State funds, general funds, tuition). Look at page 17 of this 2023-24 UC Budget. People often feel that the bulk of UC funding comes from tuition and taxes. I’ll share this here because you mention funding. If people want to do a deeper dive into UC funding, maybe we can start a new thread.
