2003-04 Eligibility and Admissions
Study Group
In October 2003, UC President Robert
C. Dynes appointed a broadly based study group to focus
on an array of eligibility and admissions issues facing
the University.
The group met several times and concluded its deliberations in March 2004.
Under UC's admissions policy adopted
by the Regents in November 2001, campuses use a process
called "comprehensive review,"by which UC-eligible
students are assessed based on their academic and personal
achievements, taking into consideration the opportunities
available at their schools. Eligibility to attend UC
is determined by grades (GPA), SAT II scores and SAT
I or ACT scores, weighted in that order.
