UC admits record number of Californians and far fewer out-of-state students

Royce Hall on the campus of UCLA, which plans to enroll more Californians and fewer nonresident students this fall. In a revised playbook guiding University of California admissions, the system’s nine undergraduate campuses accepted a record number of California first-year students for fall 2022, while significantly narrowing entry to out-of-state and international applicants amid widespread demands to preserve coveted seats for state residents, according to preliminary data released Wednesday. UC Santa Barbara, for instance, offered first-round admission to 273 fewer California first-year students than last year — but increased its waitlist offers by nearly 700. Davis admitted 21,139 California first-year applicants, an 11% decline over last year, while offers to out-of-state students were down 16.4% and those to international students fell 29% during that same period. Systemwide, however, admission offers to California Community College transfer applicants declined to 25,253 this year compared with 28,453 last year — due to fewer applications from fewer students at the system’s 116 campuses.
