Berkeley and UCLA were among first UCs to increase enrollment for foreign students until they got flack for it in recent years and has started to slow down: >The rapid rise in recent years in those students at the two highly selective campuses — to about 30% of the freshmen class — triggered much controversy among legislators and families. However, the problem is still getting worse at other UC campuses: >UC San Diego offered freshman spots to 10,313 students from other states and countries, up from 8,765 last year; Irvine accepted 9,413 of them, up from 6,564. >UC Irvine spokeswoman Cathy Lawhon said that there is room on campus for more students but state funding won't accommodate more Californians. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-me-ln-uc-admit-20150702-story.html http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-me-ln-uc-admit-20150702-sto... And: >Even as the University of California accepted a record number of freshman for fall 2014, admission rates at its most selective campuses reached new lows. Huge increases in the number of applicants, changing admissions processes and a growing emphasis on out-of-state and international students are driving them down. >UCLA’s admission rate, which fell to 18.2 percent from 20.1 percent last year, reflected the school’s growing profile and popularity. Applications surged 7.5 percent to more than 86,000, while admission levels held steady. >The drop was even more stark at UC Berkeley – to 17.3 percent this year from 20.8 percent in 2013 – under a new enrollment process that will see the university accept fewer students and then turn to an expanded wait list to fill any remaining open slots. http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/education/article2596255.html#storylink=cpy http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/education/article2596255.ht...
