U. of California To Admit Top 4% from Every High School.

Healy, Patrick

Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n30 pA36-A38 Apr 2 1999

The University of California's governing board has agreed to accept the top 4% of graduates from each high school in the state, the most significant expansion of the system's entrance criteria in two decades. The new policy will yield about 3,600 additional eligible students and improve racial/ethnic diversity, which is welcome after a ban on affirmative action. (MSE)
