University of California campuses that have more qualified freshman
applicants than spaces available use a process called comprehensive
review to ensure that each application is fairly and thoroughly
evaluated.
Each student's records are analyzed not only for grades and
test scores - important baseline indicators of academic potential
- but also for accomplishments beyond the classroom that illustrate
qualities such as leadership, intellectual curiosity and initiative.
These qualities play an important role in student success in an
academic environment as rigorous and challenging as that of UC,
and can be demonstrated through a variety of achievements and
experiences.
Students are looked at in the context of their schools (did
you take advantage of the courses offered at your school to challenge
yourself?)
They note obstacles, extracurricular activities and work that
affect school.
