What do UCs need to do to better attract students like you?

University of California is failing to reach its goals of recruiting black and Latino students. What do you think could make the difference?

African Americans made up 5.9% of the California’s high school graduates in 2014, but only 4.3% of those admitted to University of California’s freshman class that fall; Latinos were 47% of high school graduates but only 28.9% of those admitted.

If you’re a high school student or recent graduate, we’d like to hear your ideas about how UC’s could do a better job recruiting minority students. What were your experiences? What do you think would make a difference?
