What kinds of students participate in EAOP?
1. EAOP students are generally from low-income families and will be the first generation in their families to go to college. They generally attend schools with low API (Academic Performance Index) scores. Two-thirds of EAOP students attend schools in the lowest 40 percent of the school API rankings. Most belong to groups with below-average rates for UC eligibility and enrollment: 57 percent are Chicano/Latino; 11 percent are white; 10 percent are Asian; 10 percent are African American; and 1 percent are Native American.
