<p>The preliminary data for the most recent freshman class (entering Fall 2011):
Admit rates: CA resident 22%, OOS 33%, Int 41%.</p>
<p>Contrast those admit rates to the reported data for the 2006 freshman class:
Admit rates: CA resident 28%, OOS 21%, Int 19%.</p>
<p>Balancing the budget has meant a profound shift in the admit rates for non-CA residents, at the expense of California residents. I attended a talk where a UC Regent said to expect this trend to continue.</p>
<p>I’m looking at UCLA. This probably isn’t the right place to ask - but how is its economics undergrad program, and is it somewhat doable to find a job on the east coast with a UCLA degree? I’m OOS.</p>
<p>the first set for 2011 equals 96% and the second set totals only 68% unless there are extraterrestrial students in 2006 something seems fishy.</p>
<p>These are acceptance rates by group, not the makeup of the class.
For example, UCLA accepted 19% of the international students who applied for the 2006 freshman class, and 41% of the international students who applied for the Fall 2011 class.</p>
<p>Of course the big lie is the fact that these OOS’ers are bringing in all this extra revenue. There have been too many posts on cc from OOS’ers who received aid from Cal & LA to be considered ■■■■■■.</p>
<p>Next time you have the opportunity, svmom, you might raise this issue.</p>
