What is the standard of review for denying an application for admission to a university?

The determination of the absence of good reason for the denial, whether the requested admission was of substantial importance, and the amount of expenses to be awarded, if any, are all within the sound discretion of the trial court. (Bloxham v. Saldinger (2014) 228 Cal.App.4th 729, 753.) " 'An abuse of discretion occurs only where it is shown that the trial court exceeded the bounds of reason. [Citation.] It is a deferential standard of review that requires us to uphold the trial court's determination, even if we disagree with it, so long as it is reasonable. [Citation.]' [Citation.]" (Ibid.)
