Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

<p>The University of California has just released its enrollment statistics for Fall 2009 (including winter/spring admits) – and it appears the UCs have as a group succeeded in reducing their enrollment to the system by 6.5%. Within the system, there were interesting divergences among campuses.</p>

<p>DECLINES by Campus from 2008 to 2009:
UC Santa Cruz: approx. 1000 students
UC Irvine: approx 700 students
UC Davis: approx 650
UCSD: approx 580
UCLA: approx 280</p>

<p>INCREASES BY CAMPUS from 2008 to 2009:
UC Santa Barbara: approx 210 students
UC Berkeley: approx 100
UC Riverside: approx 135
UC Merced: approx 300</p>

<p>Thus it appears that Santa Barbara is over-enrolled. UCR and UCM are planned, even encouraged increases.</p>

<p>Since surprises are based on your own expectations, you can draw your own conclusions.

<p>Yeah, it’s interesting to compare the actual loss/gain to the campuses’ planned loss/gain (even though the actuals include all domestic freshmen and planned only includes CA freshmen).</p>

<p>UCSC planned to cut 335, not 1000.
UCSB planned to cut 275, but gained 210.
UCR planned to cut 435, but gained 135.</p>

<p>The other campuses came in reasonably close to their targets (Berkeley missed by less than 20), which is pretty remarkable given the chaos of this admission year. (Although 150 extra students is a much larger percentage for Merced to absorb.)</p>

<p>What happened UCSC? That’s pretty lousy. :frowning: Go slugs!</p>

<p>is this gonna be even worse for 2010…</p>

<p>lol who cares, we still made it</p>

<p>UCSC proves that hippies are still fashion don’ts.</p>

<p>Yay for UC’s trying to increase their rankings in magazines that should not be in any way considered omniscient! Sigh, not like I should really complain, I was admitted.</p>

8

<p>This is just SIR rate, and international students are not included.</p>

9

<p>what.cd, have you considered that the reduction in enrollment might have something to do with the crippling financial crisis in California, and not some ploy for higher rankings?</p>

The UC’s have plenty of money. True, they get a ton of money from Arnold’s office, but don’t let that fool you. The higher up’s in the UC faculty make a ton of money…
