<p>The other issue you have to remember is that Cal is a world class research Uni. As such, it wants to select from the top grad applicants in the world. Not only does Cal want to attract top stduents from that Junior University in Palo Alto, but also UCLA/UCSD, Caltech, MIT, HYP, Oxford, IIT, and the like. Obviously, Cal would have a hard time doing so if he accepted a bunch of its undergrads into its grad school. </p>
<p>The same is true for Boalt (but they probably don’t receive many apps from Caltech or MIT!). Haas is in a different situation bcos job experience is more important for top MBA programs.</p>
