If this data provided by OP is correct, (and he is not including athletes or minority students in his count, and actually his statement it is a bit unclear), then it seems that many more students than just the disadvantaged must be utilizing the peer tutoring services. Or are 4,000+ of UCLA’s admits unprepared, disadvantaged students?



Total undergraduate enrollment is about 24,000. When you consider that we are focusing on the introductory classes (say, 1st and 2nd years), and that student-athletes and AAP students are not part of the available pool, Covel reaches a startling percentage of students annually. Roughly, let’s say of the 8,000 students we meet, 4,000 of those are non-unique repeats- we still enroll 4,000 of 16,000 undergrads, and of those if half of those are 1st and 2nd years, that brings it to closer to 4,000 of 8,000 undergrads.



Either students who don’t really need the service are utilizing it, or something is really out of whack.
