UC to expand review of applications
The Associated Press • January 21, 2011
SAN FRANCISCO — The University of California is expanding use of an
undergraduate admissions process that evaluates students' academic
achievement in the context of their background and life experiences.
The UC Board of Regents on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution
calling on all undergraduate campuses to use "individualized holistic review
" of college applications. The full board's approval follows the educational
policy committee's endorsement Wednesday.
"As all of our campuses become more selective, we believe this is a better
way for campuses to assess individual student achievement," said Sue Wilbur,
UC's director of undergraduate admissions. "It will give us an opportunity
to find students whose talents and achievements might be overlooked."
The Berkeley, Irvine and Los Angles campuses are already using holistic
review, but some less selective UC campuses use computer formulas to admit
most of their applicants, she said. The method is employed by most of the
country's highly selective colleges.
The resolution strongly encourages, but does not require, all campuses to
adopt holistic review, which they say will provide greater consistency in UC
admissions.
For the past decade, UC campuses have been evaluating students through a
process known as "comprehensive review," in which students are judged by 14
factors including grades, test scores, extracurricular activities and
personal essays.
Under holistic review, reviewers consider those elements in the context of
the academic opportunities available to them, looking at factors such as
where they attended high school, how they compare to their peers, whether
they worked or overcame personal obstacles.
Each application is then given a single score used to determine admission.
UC officials say the policy change is not expected to have a major impact on
which students will be admitted, but will make the admissions process more
fair, thorough and sensitive to students' individual circumstances.
Wilbur emphasized that the new approach is not an attempt to increase racial
or ethnic diversity on campus or circumvent California's ban on affirmative
action in public college admissions.
The UC system is adopting the new approach as competition to gain admission
increases and campuses become more selective.
