Choose Me!

Lots of potential undergraduates want to get into UC and UCLA has the highest count.  About 1 out of 5 applicants are transfers for UC and UCLA. 
Has tuition slowed down applications?  All we can say is that overall, applications are up but the annual percentage increase for all-UC and UCLA is lower than it was last year: 13% vs. 9% (for UCLA also 13% vs. 9%). The Latino proportion of applicants is showing a steady rise for UC and UCLA.

There was discussion of designating certain areas of UC-Merced as nature reserves, followed by discussion of a new telescope.  The discussion then turned to online ed and…
