| Profile of Admitted Freshmen*
Fall 2001
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 2001. 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.

Overall College Preparatory Semesters
We also refer to these as the "a-f"
subjects†, which include: history, English, math,
laboratory science, non-English language, and academic electives.
With the exception of math and non-English language, these
are taken from grades 9-12. Math/non-English Language can
be taken as early as the 7th grade.
†As of fall 2003 "a-f" was
expanded to "a-g" when a seventh subject requirement
was added: visual and performing arts. In years prior to 2003,
these courses were considered part of the college prep elective
subject.
