Comparing the California high school graduates who meet the system’s application standards with those who attend shows that Latinos are the most underrepresented group. The admission rate for white applicants now hews closely to the overall admissions rate. Riverside had the highest admission rate after Merced, which did not open to undergraduates until 2005. Although there have been gains everywhere, the percentage of Latino freshmen admitted to more selective schools lags behind other campuses. White Asian Americans remain the largest group of admitted freshmen on the three most selective campuses.
