The Impact of Recent Process Changes in UC Berkeley Undergraduate Admissions
In 2016, UC Berkeley made a number of changes in its undergraduate admissions: It made much greater use of the wait list than in the past, it changed the process of reading applications and the scoring rubric, it eliminated a separate reading process for disadvantaged students, and it asked many applicants for letters of recommendation. By comparing data on applications and admissions in 2015 and 2016, I assess the impact of these changes, with a particular focus on the admission of students from groups that are underrepresented at Berkeley.
