The University of California system has an unshakable position in the American public schools and even in the entire American education community. With nearly 300,000 students, it is the largest public school system in the United States, and the overall level is the highest among public schools. Therefore, the UC department has always attracted much attention.
The UC department has also released the list from the beginning of this month, and the time of the institutions that will release the RD list is as follows (subject to adjustment):
* University of California, Los Angeles – March 22
* University of California, San Diego – March 22
* University of California, Irvine – March 22
* University of California, Santa Barbara – March 22
* University of California, Berkeley – March 28
A few days ago, the University of California released preliminary data on its official website for undergraduate applications for the 2024 Fall Admission (Class of 2028). The University of California has always been a popular university for undergraduate applications in the United States, and it has received a high degree of attention. Among all American universities, there are not many single universities that can exceed the 100,000 mark, but the University of California not only does it, but more than half of its campuses exceed 100,000.
The University of California received a total of 250,436 applications for admission to Fall 2024 (206,893 for freshmen and 43,543 for transfers). Overall, the total number of applicants increased by 1.5 per cent compared to last year. Since the application to the University of California is a unified platform, you can just check the campus, so it is common for one applicant to apply to multiple campuses at the same time. The total number of applicants is counted by the university, and there is no double counting of the number of applicants who apply to multiple campuses. As a result, there may be situations where the number of applicants for each branch of the university does not match the total number of applicants for the university.
2024 Fall Campus Application Data:
The number of applicants to UCB is slightly smaller, and the difficulty of admission makes many people appear cautious. With a total of 145,707 applicants, UCB ranks third in the UC system.
In terms of numbers, UCLA has always been in the leading position, and it is the first public school to apply to. A total of 173,400 people applied, including 146,250 new undergraduate students and 27,150 undergraduate transfers.
UCSD is a popular university, with a total of 156,906 applicants, including 134439 undergraduate freshmen and 22,467 undergraduate transfers.
The total number of applicants to UCSB is 128646, and 18,410 undergraduate transfers.
UCD2024USNews' latest ranking entered the Top 30, with a big leap in the rankings, but the total number of applicants was 115,349, ranking fifth.
A total of 147,848 applicants applied to UCI, of which 122,661 were new students and 25,187 were transfers.
A total of 69,492 applicants applied to UCR, including 57,420 undergraduate freshmen and 12,042 undergraduate transfers.
UCSC is located around Silicon Valley and has a total of 83,915 applicants.
From the above data, it is not difficult to see that the overall number of applicants to the University of California continues to explode, but the application of each campus is uneven and varies greatly. The hotness of this application is also reflected in the ease of admission to the university. UCSC, UCR, UCM have already released the list, and they have given a lot of offers and a lot of waitlists, as long as the students on the waitlist of these three institutions do not take the initiative to reject the school, the probability of getting a regular in the future is very high. The admission difficulty of the six colleges and universities that have not yet been released will be significantly higher.
