Source: UC admissions by source school. These are dated fall first-year UC groups. Applied identifies students who formally applied; Admitted, those offered admission; Enrolled, those who enrolled at UC. GPA columns show each group's mean weighted, capped high-school GPA for 10th/11th-grade college-preparatory courses. UC adds extra weighting for up to eight semesters, with no more than four in 10th grade. These records do not describe current school enrollment or measure teaching quality. Complete, matching applicant and admit counts can support a historical descriptive admit rate, but do not establish a school's effect or predict individual chances. Missing or masked counts: never assume zero or a positive hidden value. “Masked” marks a count UC left blank (UC blanks counts under 5 applicants or under 3 admits or enrollees); — means unavailable, and a reported zero remains zero. A + marks a partial SchoolScope sum of available counts across linked codes, not a complete total; the missing contribution may be zero. SchoolScope leaves GPA unavailable when multiple CEEB codes contribute rather than combining their means. The table holds every fall on file from 2016 to 2025.

Source: UC admissions by source school. These are dated fall first-year UC applicant, admitted and enrolled groups, not current school attendance. Universitywide is separately reported, with unduplicated applicant and admit counts. Students can apply to several campuses, so campus sums are not interchangeable with Universitywide counts even when they happen to equal them. Counts are summed across linked CEEB codes within each campus and year. A + marks a partial SchoolScope sum of available counts, not a complete total; missing contributions may be zero. “Masked” marks a count UC left blank (UC blanks counts under 5 applicants or under 3 admits or enrollees); — means unavailable. For missing or masked counts, never assume zero or a positive hidden value. A reported zero remains zero. Complete, matching counts can support historical descriptive admit rates; they do not establish a school's effect or predict individual chances.
