In-State Admissions Offers Up at U of California

The University of California announced Wednesday that admissions offers across system campuses to California residents are up 15 percent from a year ago. The news follows intense pressure from Governor Jerry Brown and legislators to admit more Californians. Notably, the Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses -- which have become particularly difficult to get into -- each saw much larger gains this year in Californians admitted than in those from out of state. University officials also noted gains in admissions offers to minority students.
