Do public grad schools (berkely) favor In state?

<p>From Boalt Hall's (berkeley's law school for those who are unfamiliar) website:</p>

<pre><code>You have a roughly equal chance of being admitted regardless of your residency. We strive to enroll a class that has a majority of residents, but we offer admissions to an equal number of residents and nonresidents in order to obtain the ration we seek.
