The 2012 Admissions Policy is the new set of admissions requirements which the University of California system uses when considering prospective freshman applicants.
Students' qualifications will be assessed using campus-based review processes, which emphasize academic achievement but also account for a wide range of personal accomplishments and educational contexts." (Source)
The following three requirements, if fulfilled by California high school seniors, will entitle their applications to a comprehensive review:
| 15 completed UC-required college-prep (a-g) courses, of which 11 must be complete by the end of their Junior year 3.0 GPA or Higher in these courses. These requirements can be found here. |
| ACT with Writing OR SAT Reasoning Test only. (SAT Subject Test/SAT II no longer required, but instead recommended.) |
| Students who fall in the top 9% of all its graduates statewide and within their own high school graduating class are guaranteed admission somewhere in the UC system. Due to varying selectivity, a student's admission chances vary are different among the UC campuses. |
