Exciting things are happening at UC Davis! The university has just announced a staggering record of 122,271 applications for the Fall 2026 school year. This impressive figure marks a 1.8% increase from last year, making it clear that UC Davis is the place to be for aspiring students.
Among those eager applicants, first-year college students make up the bulk, with a whopping 86% or 104,850 applying to join the Aggie family. The remaining 14%, about 17,421 applications, belong to transfer students hoping to make their mark on campus. It’s no surprise that many of these hopefuls are from California, with 67% of first-year and 87% of transfer applicants claiming the Golden State as their home.
Prospective students can expect their acceptance notifications in March, and they better keep an eye on those deadlines! First-year students need to accept by May 1, while transfer students have until June 1. With an influx like this, it seems UC Davis isn’t just attracting attention—it’s becoming an educational powerhouse that everyone wants to be a part of. Imagine the campus energy with this fresh wave of talent!
