The overarching goal of our admission process is to select applicants that have an excellent chance of success, are most likely to thrive at our campus and will enhance the diversity of UC Davis' intellectual and cultural community.
To ensure that all applicants are thoroughly and fairly reviewed, UC Davis uses a comprehensive review process to read every application using 14 criteria that all UC campuses adhere to. We consider a broad range of factors, from traditional academics to extracurricular achievement and response to life challenges. It is the strength of your high school academic record that is the single most important component, but we're looking beyond the numbers to find out who you really are!
Admission decisions are made based upon the qualifications of the applicant pool and the number of available spaces within each academic area:
Students applying as "undeclared" or "undeclared/exploratory" are considered within the college/division to which they applied.
