Noteworthy is that the “all” category is very close to caucasian/asian numbers and much higher than the minority numbers which indicates those minorities make-up only a small percentage of the entering classes since they are not having a major impact on the average. Though the UCs are not supposed to consider race, sex or ethnic background, that is offset by the 4% “local context” rule – those in the top 4% of their high school class are guaranteed admission to a UC regardless of test score – and thus many of those minorities may have qualified from inner city schools under that rule. Also, with holistic review, they can consider such things as “first generation” to college and economic status.
