[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CA’s geographic focus isn’t really “rural” the way people in other states think about rural. Many counties are classified rural historically but in reality most of the UC admits that aren’t low income recruits are suburban kids. Fresno, Stockton, Modesto, Sacremento, Santa Cruz area, Inland Empire, San Bernardino, etc etc basically anything that isn’t the Bay Area, a particular area in north San Diego or a particular area in LA are admitted with far weaker ECs, little to no DE, fewer APs with 5 etc. The geographic focus started over 15 years ago when CA voters voted to stop considering race in admissions. The regents decided to use zip code and recruitment programs to identify and admit to maintain and increase racial diversity. [/quote] For good reason. Anyone been to San Bernardino? The whole area is an industrial waste dump that has terrible crime. Someone graduating out of that place with good marks damn well deserves UC admission[/quote]
