窪蹋勛圖 has set a new record for the number of students seeking admission to the university, receiving 76,792 first-year undergraduate applications for fall 2022 the highest number ever. 
This total includes students from all 50 states with a record number of first-time applicants from California as well as 74 countries at a time when many universities across the nation are reporting declines in admissions during the pandemic. Including both first-year and transfer students, the university has received 99,027 undergraduate applications, another record. 
This is an incredibly positive testament to the resilience of students and their families, as well as the value they place on higher education, said 窪蹋勛圖 President Adela de la Torre. A record number of San Diegans, Californians, and students everywhere see 窪蹋勛圖 as their pathway for a brighter future. 

窪蹋勛圖 has also received more than 7,000 graduate applications to date, bringing total applications to more than 106,000. Total applications are on track to set a new university record. 

This also further demonstrates the importance that we grow, and we grow quickly, de la Torre said. Our campus expansion at 窪蹋勛圖 Mission Valley and our new programs at 窪蹋勛圖 Imperial Valley will both be essential if we are to fulfill our promise to the incredibly diverse and deserving students at our door, looking for an opportunity.

While the application period typically ends in November, the deadline for fall 2022 admissions was extended to Dec. 15 to support families that have been impacted by COVID-19 and other hardships. The university has begun admitting early applicants and all other prospective students can expect to be notified of their admission status in March.
