UC application funnel — one destination of six, tracked in detail because UC is the only source with 30 years of history

In fall 2024, 3 Lee Vining graduates enrolled in the University of California system.

UC is one road of many — this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private, or an out-of-state campus. And who applied isn't who the school taught: the ratio between the two reflects the self-selected pool of students who chose to apply, not what happened in the classroom.

Plan your next step

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

With no score to read, a visit does the heavy lifting: ask about class sizes, teacher tenure, and where last year's students went next.

  • Ask about typical class sizes and the student-teacher ratio.
  • Ask how long teachers have stayed at the school.
  • Ask where recent graduates or transfers went next.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom, and watch how a lesson actually runs.

Use the published evidence to prepare questions, then verify fit and access with the school.
