UCLA revoked seven freshman offers this year and UC San Diego nine. All colleges and universities set conditions that admitted students must meet or face rescissions - one reason schools warn against “senioritis” - and UC campuses vary widely in their cancellations. Yunek said data for previous years were not immediately available, so he could not say whether this year’s rescissions were unusually high. Those conditions include receiving a high school diploma, maintaining a weighted 3.0 senior-year grade-point average with no Ds or Fs in UC-approved courses and meeting deadlines for submitting all official high school and college transcripts and test scores. Yunek said UCI had revoked acceptances only for students who had not met the conditions of their admission contracts. That amounts to 850 more students than UC Irvine’s planned freshman class of 6,250, though some are expected to decide to enroll elsewhere this fall in what is known as “summer melt.” Still, in the last two years, the summer drop-off has been only about 250 students. Overall, about 7,100 of the 31,103 freshmen offered admission to UC Irvine for this fall accepted it as of May, according to the UC Office of the President. “For those who felt ignored or mistreated, I sincerely apologize.”īrent Yunek, associate vice chancellor of enrollment services, confirmed that more students signed formal statements of intent to register than anticipated - the share of California freshmen who did so, for instance, rose to 26.4% from 24.6% last year, he said. “I acknowledge that we took a harder line on the terms and conditions this year and we could have managed that process with greater care, sensitivity and clarity about available options,” he said in a message sent to all students whose admissions were revoked. He said that all accepted students who met the admission conditions would be allowed to attend and that UCI would not withdraw admission offers because of overenrollment. Parham, vice chancellor of student affairs, wrote a letter to affected students Friday apologizing for the distress caused and urged those who felt they had been treated unfairly to file appeals. ![]()
