The University of California admitted the largest and most diverse class in its history for fall 2024, including big jumps in admission offers to California students, community college transfers, and students from groups historically underrepresented in higher education.

According to newly released preliminary data, UC offered admission to two out of every three applicants overall, with nearly 167,000 students offered a spot at one of the university’s nine undergraduate campuses.

“These admissions numbers demonstrate the University of California’s commitment to expanding opportunity and access, especially for historically underrepresented groups, who comprise the largest-ever share of first-year students,” said University of California President Michael V. Drake, M.D. “We’re setting more California students on the path to a college degree and future success, and that translates to positive impact on communities throughout the state.”
