Scholars with financial need are awarded a scholarship up to their full financial need as assessed by the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office. More than 400 students admitted for 2017-18 have been awarded a prestigious Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarship, and more than 90 percent of these scholarships are going to California residents. The scholarship is awarded to top entering applicants who have been admitted to Berkeley and selected by the faculty. Admissions officials anticipate that California residents will continue to make up more than 70 percent of the freshman enrolled class. Nearly the same number of California students were offered admission as last year - 9,7-18 and 9,7-17. These students come from 49 of California’s 58 counties, 50 U.S. The freshman admit class ranges in age from 14 to 23 and includes 110 sets of twins and two sets of triplets. “UC Berkeley continues to attract an outstanding pool of applicants,” said Amy Jarich, associate vice chancellor and director of undergraduate admissions, “and while we can still only offer admission to a fraction of those students, it’s a sign of strong institutional commitment when we can offer seats to more of these academically talented and driven students.” Freshman admission Further, the number of underrepresented minority students (American Indian, African American and Chicano-Latino) increased in all categories for a combined 2,881 offers in 2017-18, compared to 2,538 in 2016-17.

The admissions data was released today in coordination with the UC Office of the President, which released its data, including for freshmen and transfer students, for all nine undergraduate campuses in the UC system. And more offers were made to first-generation college students and underrepresented minority students than in 2016-17.
