Bishop Conaty Our Lady Loretto — Enrollment & Outcomes Snapshot

Private · Catholic · Los Angeles · vs. 10 most similar nearby schools

  • On UC Reach, Bishop Conaty Our Lady Loretto sits in the middle of its similar-school group (ranked #6 of 10): 36% vs. a peer median of 39%.
  • Its UC Reach has risen 8 points since 2020.
  • Across the top-6 UC campuses, Bishop Conaty Our Lady Loretto is admitting at roughly -11 percentage points below what its average applicant GPA (3.567) alone would predict (17% actual vs. 28% expected).

Not a verdict; a signal.
  • Senior-class enrollment is up 10% (61→67 from 2020 to 2025), trailing the peer-group median of +22%.
  • At its recent rate (-3.4%/yr), enrollment projects to ~256 by 2028 — about 28 fewer students than today.

Admit rate vs. CA peer average, by campus

How does this school's admit rate at each UC compare to other CA schools whose applicant pool averages the same GPA? Based on 2024 (latest GPA available).

Campus Applicant GPA (avg) Actual admit rate CA peer avg Δ Verdict
UC San Diego 3.54 22.7% 34.7% -12.0pp Under
UC Santa Barbara 3.47 17.6% 36.5% -18.9pp Under
UC Irvine 3.57 10.3% 19.8% -9.5pp Under
UC Davis 3.71 26.7% 32.3% -5.6pp Under
"Applicant GPA" is the average GPA of this school's UC applicant pool — not an individual student GPA. "CA peer avg" is the application-weighted statewide admit rate at this school-pool GPA, fit separately per campus. At any given pool GPA, real admit rates span widely (UCSD ranges 8% → 65% across CA schools) because UCs use comprehensive review — context-of-opportunity, geography, demographics, and applicant essays all weigh in beyond GPA. A large negative residual flags this school is admitted at a meaningfully lower rate than other CA schools at the same pool GPA — not that students here were "rejected at expected rate X." "Over" / "Under" use a ±5-point band. Campuses with fewer than 5 applicants are omitted.

Where Bishop Conaty Our Lady Loretto sits vs. all California schools

What This Means

A large share of the senior class applies to UC, indicating strong college-going culture and UC pipeline development.
A large share of the class applies to UC, so the admit rate runs lower than the application volume alone might suggest — expected when many students apply broadly, including to reach campuses. UC Reach (which credits every admit relative to the class) is the truer read of how the class fares: a strong Reach alongside a moderate admit rate is healthy, not a contradiction.
UC Reach is solid. A meaningful share of the senior class is achieving UC admission, and there is likely room to grow both application volume and admission outcomes.
Students are earning UC admission but enrolling elsewhere at a notable rate. This may reflect competition from private colleges, out-of-state flagships, cost considerations, or UC campus fit. Student outcome surveys can clarify.
The school generates broad UC access, but fewer students are reaching the most selective UC campuses (UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD, UCSB, UCI). Targeted academic enrichment and campus-fit advising may help.
Berkeley/UCLA admit volume is modest relative to overall UC reach. This is common and reflects the highly selective nature of those campuses, but may be a target area for the school's highest-performing students.
UC Reach has improved meaningfully compared to the prior year — a positive trajectory worth monitoring and reinforcing.
Note: admit counts used here are campus-level totals. A student admitted to both UCLA and UCSD is counted twice. When UCOP unique-student data becomes available it will be loaded automatically and the labels will update.
