Generally good except for Enrollment and retention: In 2008, UCSC offered admission to a record number of 19,138 new undergraduate students out of 25,746 applications for the Fall term, representing an increase in selectivity to 74.3 percent from 82.8 percent admitted in 2007. This year, UCSC offered admission to 63.7% of applicants. UCSC hopes to contain the entering class to about 3,700 students. This has me really confused. In 2008 19,138 students entered? But the infobox says there are 14,381 students. This year, which year is that? Please don't use terms such as current or this year. Please check this data as it may have been vandalised or accidentally altered. Done
Overall the article is in fairly good shape, just a few concerns mentioned above. On hold for seven days, major contributors and projects will be notified.

It is the numbers that bother me. How come 19,138 students were offered admission in 2008, when the infobox says the total number of students according to the infobox is just 14,381? It needs further explanation, I do understand that not everyone enrols.

This is standard in the American university system. Students apply to multiple schools, and schools accept more students than they could actually take because they know that not all of the students they accept will actually go to their school.—
