- ▸On UC Reach, California Military Institute sits near the bottom of its similar-school group (ranked #9 of 11): 10% vs. a peer median of 21%.
- ▸California Military Institute's UC Reach has declined meaningfully from a peak of 34% in 2018 to 10% in 2025 — a 24-point drop that warrants attention. Multi-year UC Reach declines of this size often signal something specific (leadership change, comp-program shift, demographic move) rather than year-to-year noise. This is the kind of trajectory an Enrollment Trend Audit unpacks.
- ▸Across the top-6 UC campuses, California Military Institute is admitting at roughly -9 percentage points below what its average applicant GPA (3.567) alone would predict (18% actual vs. 26% expected). That's worth understanding — it can reflect grade inflation that UC sees through, weaker holistic-review materials at the margin, or applicants concentrating at more selective campuses than typical. Not a verdict; a signal.
- ▸Senior-class enrollment is down 2% (104→102 from 2018 to 2026), trailing the peer-group median of +0%.
- ▸Enrollment has been growing (+0.1%/yr); projects to ~1034 by 2029.
