14.7% Gain in In-State Admissions Offers by U of California

The University of California announced Monday that undergraduate admissions offers to California residents are up 14.7 percent over last year in the university system. The university has been criticized for in recent years for upping its out-of-state admissions offers (to students who pay much higher tuition rates). The admissions offers this year follow a deal between the university and Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, to create more slots for California residents if the state provides more funds to the system.
