UC Information Center
The UC Information Center is a treasure trove of UC admission stats, fully equipped with impressive data visualization tools to make the information easier to interpret. Below is a summary of what you can find on there (I only included the data sets that would be of the most interest to prospective freshman and transfer applicants, and their parents; but there is a ton of data in the Information Center that would make interesting leisure reading material). The most recent data is from Fall 2023.
Freshman Admission Data
Remember that you may hover your mouse over the fancy graphical display to get additional textual information. I should mention that that the GPA data shown in the tables/dashboards is always capped, which is not very useful (most UCs use uncapped GPA for admission evaluation).
Admissions by source school shows the number of applicants, number of admits, and number of enrollees from different high schools at each UC campus or systemwide based on different characteristics (by high school, ethnicity, gender, or GPA). You can see data going back almost 30 years. Choose the UC campus for which you want to see the data, and locate the data for your high school by using the “Search for a school” box (make sure to change the “Filter on county/state/country” to “(All)” to display all available data) .
Freshman admission by discipline provides general admission stats (including admitted GPA range and admit rate) based on broad disciplines (such as “Arts & Humanities” and “Physical Sciences/Math”).
Freshman fall admissions summary displays a variety of admission information. For example, you can see admit rates by school type (public, private, out-of-state, and international) and yield rate by residency (California, out-of-state, international).

Transfer Admission Data
Remember that you may hover your mouse over the fancy graphical display to get additional textual information.
Transfers by Major shows the number of applicants, number of admits, admitted GPA range (middle 50%), and admit rate by UC campus and major. You can see data going back to 2012. Choose the UC campus for which you want to see the data, and look at data for all of the majors or use “Search for major name” to find a specific major.
Transfer fall admissions summary displays a plethora of admission information. One great thing about this data is that you can separate out the information between California community colleges and “other” colleges (“other” includes UC, CSU, four-year colleges, out-of-state community colleges, and international four-year or two-year colleges).
California Community College new enrollments at UC gives you the option to look at how your fellow community college peers are faring in the UC admissions process. You can see the number of enrollees from different community colleges at each UC campus or search your community college using “Search for a community college” to see the number of students from there enrolled at each UC campus. You can also see how the admission trends shifted over the past ~30 years.
