University of California, Irvine
Thanks for your edits to the University of California, Irvine article. I'd like to clarify why I've reverted your edits. The SAT and GPA numbers in the table are just for "enrolled" freshmen. However, the #s you provided are for all "admitted" freshmen, which include those who enrolled PLUS all those offered admission who did not enroll. The "admitted" SAT and GPA #s will usually be higher than the "enrolled" #s for every college, since a number of "admitted" students with very high GPAs and SATs will enroll at colleges which are more selective, higher ranked, or more prestigious etc. So, including your "admitted" SAT of 1867 in 2014 (instead of the "enrolled" SAT of 1744) next to the "enrolled" SAT of 1731 in 2013 is an apples-to-oranges comparison which leads readers to false conclusions.

I've also reverted your changes concerning the # of applicants and the # admitted. The source you provided is a legitimate one, but I have no idea why it states 23,573 were admitted when UC Irvine's own Office of Institutional Research says 24,890 at http://www.oir.uci.edu/files/adm/IA18-fall-fr-select-yield-by-school.pdf?R=823814. Notice that this source is the same one for the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 # of applicants and # admitted. I strongly feel that until someone can prove that 23,573 is the right #, for the sake of consistency the Office of Institutional Research's #s for 2010-13 and 24,890 for 2014 should be used.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. Thanks. Contributor321 (talk) 01:33, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
