Yesterday, we took note of Chancellor Block's presentation on UCLA enrollment growth planning including the possibility of creating a satellite campus and more use of the summertime.* The chart above shows freshman applications by UC campus. Note that UCLA receives far more freshman applications than any other campus.
Similarly, when it comes to transfer applications - see below, the same phenomenon occurs; more to UCLA than any other campus.
Note that the admit rates currently for UC-Merced and UC-Riverside are quite high now, Yet the political pressure from the legislature to increase enrollment is what is driving the agenda. So, the question is whether what the legislature really wants is more enrollment anywhere, or more enrollment to certain campuses. If it is the latter, even with satellite campuses and increased summertime use, the political pressure will continue.
The charts are from the UC Accountability Report, available at:

On a less serious note, there must be a reason that the Accountability Report has a phonograph record on the cover featuring "What Now My Love" (with no question mark).** Putting aside the punctuation issue, does My Love really want to know about admission data? Just wondering...

**The actual record did not have a question mark.
