More Number Crunching ...

I've again dived into the numbers from the UC Application, Admission & Enrollment, California Resident Freshman data.  This time, I've taken a look at the Enrollment data both (1) as a percentage for each racial group for the total enrolled class and (2) as a percentage of the students for each racial group who accepted the admissions offer. 

The first of these new charts shows that there is a greater percentage of Asians who Enroll than who were offered Admissions.  It appears, according to the second new chart, that the reason for this is that Asians consistently accepted the offer and enrolled at a substantially greater rate than the other groups examined.  I added East Indian / Pakastani, Filipino American, and Native American, to see if the other Asian groups had similarly high numbers and I wanted to see if Native Americans were having better, worse, or similar numbers to the other disadvantaged communities. 

Also surprising was that starting around 2002, every group, except for the Asians, had multiple years when less than half of those who got offers actually enrolled.  This represents a significant decline from the prior decade.  My guess (I'm just speculating here) as to why this happened / is happening is the steady increase in tuition since 2002.
