Just over 3,000 transfer students entered UCLA in Fall 2011, with 92.4% from the California Community Colleges System. Over the past 15 years over 45,000 transfer students have entered UCLA. One-third of baccalaureate degrees are awarded to students who entered UCLA as transfer students. One of the major debates is over the decreased admission of African-Americans and Latinos, especially since the passage of Proposition 209, prohibiting racial, sexual, or ethnic discrimination at public institutions, in 1996.[90] In response to this issue, UCLA decided to shift to a more holistic admissions process starting Fall 2007.[91]
Preliminary, admitted freshman applicants for Fall 2013 had an average weighted GPA of 4.40 (3.88 unweighted), an average combined SAT score of 2037 (667 for Critical Reading, 690 for Mathematics, and 680 for Writing) and an average ACT Composite score of 30.[92]

Crime[edit]

In 2012, UCLA was rated the most dangerous college campus in the US by Business Insider with 921 property crimes, and 49 violent crimes (recorded in the year 2011).[95] UCLA's director of media relations issued a response to this rank stating crime reports are taken both on and off campus, including the multiple Los Angeles County locations of UCLA medical centers and clinics, suggesting data might be inflated.[96] Other media outlets, such as the Los Angeles Times,[97] LAist,[98] and LA Weekly[99] disputed the ranking.
