UC Transfer Applications Drop By More Than 12% for Fall 2022

It looks like the UC transfer applications were depressed this year, probably as a knock on effect from the drop in community college enrollment during the pandemic.

Can we speculate that the admission rates will be higher this year, given that the campuses need to fill their transfer spots from a smaller applicant pool? Did Fall 2022 transfer applicants luck out this year? I guess we will know in a few weeks.

From what i’ve gathered, higher levels of applicants (like in recent years) led to dips in acceptance rates, so I think us UC transfer applicants may be a bit luckier this cycle.
