Profile of Admitted Freshmen

Fall 2010
When we review our freshman applicants, we look at a wide variety of factors (fradms.htm) , some more
easily quantifiable than others. Below are the primary academic factors we considered when we reviewed our
freshman applicants for Fall Quarter 2010. Beyond being UC-Eligible (fracadrq.htm) (which almost all of our
applicants are anyway) there is no specific cutoff value assigned to any of the factors we consider.
