University of California application totals for fall 2024 admission on the rise
March 12, 2024 •
On March 6, the University of California announced that it received 250,436 applications for fall 2024 admission (206,893 for first-year admission and 43,543 applications for transfer admission). Overall, application numbers increased 1.5% compared to the previous year. The uptick was driven by a rise in applications from transfer students, California residents and students from historically underrepresented groups in higher education.
“We are pleased to see such an outstanding pool of students from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences apply to the University of California,” said Michael V. Drake, M.D., UC president. “Prospective students and their families recognize that a degree from the University of California sets them up for lifelong career success. The increase in applications underscores the quality of the educational experience and the long-term social mobility a UC education can provide underrepresented students.”
