That is exactly what my daughter heard yesterday when her school held a UC application session. The UC rep said it is no longer guaranteed the top 9% at each school will get into a UC (fine print says it is based on funding availability). In the past, if an applicant in the top 9% was not admitted to the UC of his/her choice, the application was forwarded automatically to UC Merced. This year it won’t be; you would need to apply directly there. This is all part of trying to boost OOS admissions to raise revenues…
