<p>Because of the UC budget downfall, who gets the advantage when it comes to admissions?</p>

<p>OOS because the will give more money? </p>

<p>Or in-state because the UC’s cant admit so much people and have a “quota” to fill with in-state students?</p>

<p>I have no idea. Both seem logically correct.</p>

<p>both seems logically correct, but I would think it will still be an advantage for the in-state residents.</p>

<p>There is no official quota, unlike legal caps at UVa and Carolina. The simple fact is that most OOS’ers are too smart to pay $46k for a UC other than Cal or UCLA; thus the OOS are small. Even UCLA, which receives thousands of OOS apps, has less than 5% OOS – with the exception of a few select programs, they just aren’t worth the cost of a private college.</p>

<p>You might think that instate has priority, but if you look at Cal’s numbers on UC statfinder, you’ll find little difference between instate and OOS stats. In contrast, there is a huge difference between instate and OOS at UVa, for example.</p>
