@Fisherman99, your information on the number of freshman applications per campus is incorrect. Yes, Riverside had a jump in percentage at 12.2%. UCSB had the highest jump at 12.5%. All campuses had record numbers. But UCLA had the highest number of freshman applications, ever, of any university in the country, followed by UCSD with the second highest number. (Whoops, forgot Cal at first.)
UCLA: 113,409
UCSD 97,670
UCI: 94,866
UCSB: 92,017
UCB: 89,294
UCD: 77,727
UCSC: 56,106
UCR: 48,755
UCM: 23,778
