The Regents of the California colleges has changed its admissions procedures.  No longer will they require two SAT Subject Tests for admission.  And they have lowered the guaranteed percentage of top California graduates to 9%.  And they have established a new review process to consider applicants whose numbers do not trigger automatic consideration.

While all these changes seem an attempt to create a more diverse class and evade some of the strictures of Prop 209 (affirmative action), it seems it will have a boon for out-of-state applicants by freeing up previously guaranteed spots at the top end.  So…those who thought a California state college seemed too much of a pipedream have a better chance for admission starting in 2011.
