But we can see here that the administration at UCR have some solid plans to make that number go up. I agree that all the UC’s have become more selective but that is just the UC system. In comparison to other universities and colleges across the nation, UCR and UCSC have definitely ramped up their selectivity at a much faster rate. I sort of agree that the low tier UCs have students who are less accomplished academically but honestly how much more selective can UCLA and UCB get in comparison to those low tier UC’s? Not by much at all. The 3.8 thing was most likely incorrect for UCR, but UCSC’s is undeniably 3.88 meaning that UCSC is definitely moving towards the likes of UCSB and UCI. Until UCR’s admission stats. are released, we won’t know but what we do know is that their selectivity has definitely gone up. To how far of an extent is the big question here.
