<p>UCLA SETS NEW UNDERGRADUATE APPLICATIONS RECORD
Campus remains a top choice for the most qualified students from Calif., beyond
By Ricardo Vazquez January 18, 2013</p>

<p>With nearly 100,000 undergraduate applicants seeking admission for fall 2013, UCLA remains the most applied-to university in the country and one of the most sought-after colleges by exceptionally talented students from California and around the world.</p>

<p>UCLA received 80,472 freshman applications and 19,087 transfer-student applications for fall 2013 admission, for a total of 99,559 undergraduate applications — an 8.8 percent increase over last year and more than ever before in the university's history.</p>

<p>Despite the jump in applications, the academic qualifications of freshman applicants — as measured by grade-point average and admissions test scores — increased over last year, as did the ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic diversity of the applicant pool.</p>

<p>The above is the first 3 paragraphs from an article posted at the UCLA Newsroom.
How do you even begin to evaluate over 99,000 applications?</p>

<p>I think UCLA hires about 200 outside readers for the frosh applications. Some of the more seasoned outside readers also evaluate straightforward transfer applications (single CCC, no special situation). The admissions staff picks up the rest (special situations, augmented review, multiple CCC enrollment, etc.).</p>
