Gaining admissions to most UCs is very competitive. Recently UC announced its admission statistics for fall 2014.
There are 86,865 students who have been offered admission to the 2014 freshman class. That's system- wide across the entire UC system.
Four of the UCs nine campuses made fewer offers to non-resident students this year, but the overall number of such offers increased from a systemwide total of 22,761 in 2013 to 25,745 in 2014. Those students who reside outside of California traditionally decline UC admission offers at a higher rate than do California residents. It's anticipated that systemwide, about 13 percent of enrolled UC undergraduates in 2014-15 will be out-of-state and international students.
UC admission information for fall 2014 also shows that admittance of Latinos increased as a proportion of the total California admits from 27.6 percent in 2013 to 28.8 percent in 2014, making them the second largest ethnic grouop of admitted Californians behind Asian Americans. White sutdents made up 26.8 percent of those admitted for 2014, followed by African Americans at 4.2 percent.

Admitted students have until May 1 to return their statement of intent to register. Also high school juniors should note that UC will open its 2015-16 application for undergraduate admissions on August 1, two months earlier than in previous years. Completed applications must still be submitted between Nov. 1-30, as in prior years.
