UCLA Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Freshmen, Fall 2004

When we review our freshman applicants, we look at a wide variety of factors, some more easily quantifiable than others. Below are the primary academic factors we considered when we reviewed our freshman applicants for fall 2004. Beyond being UC-Eligible (which almost all of our applicants are anyway) there is no specific cutoff value assigned to any of the factors we consider.

	California residents	out-of- state	international	withdrawn*	total
applicants	37,239	4,025	1,484	453	43,201
admits	8,781	866	302	-	9,949
enrolled	3,432	175	116	-	3,723

% admitted	23.58	21.52	20.35	-	23.03
% admits enrolled	39.08	20.21	38.41	-	37.42
% of total applicants	86.20	9.32	3.44	1.05	100.00

*"Withdrawn" refers to applicants who voluntarily withdraw their applications from consideration. This is usually done when an applicant accepts an early decision offer at another institution.
