<p>So I just want to challenge the conventional wisdom on CC that’s it’s pretty much pointless for OOS candidates to apply to Berkeley.</p>
<p>I dont think anybody is saying that here. I was just saying there is a significant difference in the stability of the instate and OOS for Cal. There are cases when usually you can say someone in a particular CA schools is over 95% sure of getting into Cal, in state. For example, I went to a HS that admits about 25 students every year to Cal; so for the valedictorian who wrote a book and had numerous other awards, it would be relatively certain he would get in assuming he didnt bomb anything on his application. I am not saying the OP is like that; Im just giving an anecdote. </p>
<p>Anyways, lets not argue about this anymore here. It just doesnt seem like the right thread ^^.</p>
