Nevertheless, we here at the Clog think it’s important to understand the biological makeup of our campus. Thus, here we are, telling you that in the fall you might see a few fewer freshman scampering through the brush and a few more transfer students slinking about. Thanks to a UC-wide freshman enrollment cap and renewed “commitment to inclusiveness,” transfer student enrollment jumped by a hefty 12 percent throughout the system.

Accordingly, freshman enrollment dropped, as did the percentage of admitted students who submitted SIRs. So what does this mean for you? Probably not a lot, but if you find yourself thinking that the fresh meat pickings are the teensiest bit slimmer when fall rolls around, you’ll know why. Or,  if you find yourself wondering why your walking paths feel a little less obstructed by large packs of confused chitlins, you’ll know why that is, too.
