- Summary:
-
The 1976 High School Eligibility Study is the fourth in a continuing series of studies performed to provide data to the University of California and the California State University and Colleges so they can recalibrate their admission standards for first-time freshman students under the guidelines established under the Master Plan for Higher Education (1960). The Master Plan urges the University of California to draw its first-time freshman class from the top 12 1/2 percent of the high school graduating class; the state university and colleges from the top one-third. A random sample of 1974-75 public high school graduate transcripts was evaluated in terms of each segment's admission standards. The findings indicate that 14.84 percent of the graduates would have been eligible for admission as first-time freshman students at UC and 34.96 percent at the state university and colleges. These figures are generally consistent with the findings of the 1961 and 1966 studies and indicate that the gradually rising grade point averages in California's public high schools in recent years have not resulted in a "ballooning" of segmental eligibility rates. Recommendations are offered for adjusting segmental admission requirements, for developing the 1981 High School Eligibility Study, and for reviewing the 1960 Master Plan. (LBH)
