The new U-C- Merced campus is set to open in August and has already accepted nearly six-thousand students.
The school becomes the U-C system´s tenth campus and will be the first new campus to open since U-C Santa Cruz made its debut 40 years ago.
Officials say they expect about three-fifths of those accepted to attend.
