University of California President Janet Napolitano told students at Armijo High School who have been accepted into one of the 10 universities in the statewide system that they “already have achieved something significant by getting in.”

Talking to more than 70 students Friday at the school library, Napolitano noted the universities received more than 200,000 applications and accepted about 70,000 students.

“We draw from the top students in California,” she said.
