<p>Okay so I know admissions for in and out of state are WAY different at UCB.<br>
What is the acceptance rate for out of state applicants? </p>
<p>Also, what is the typical SAT and ACT range for accepted OOS applicants?</p>
<p>bump........</p>
<p>I think the acceptance rate for OOS was ~18%. Remember, though, that OOS is, to a degree, self-selective; many people know that 1) it's very difficult to get in OOS, 2) it's very expensive if they do get in, and 3) Berkeley probably won't give them much aid.</p>
<p>The stats for OOSers aren't published, but you can bet that they're high.</p>
<p>hmm not necessarily..a number of people i've talked to had similar stats as in state ones. but of course you do have people who do have very high stats. 18% as opposed to like..24% for in-state isn't wayy more selective. but in any case, give it a shot and apply!</p>
<p>I remember a while ago that the Cal newspaper or some Cal related article said the total acceptances (in state, out of state and international) fell to 23.2% total for Fall 2007 -- wow, can't believe I actually made it in. It wasn't divided out into percentage of out of state vs in state, but I remember on the admitted/rejected thread there seemed to be a LOT of oos acceptances, way more than I thought based on collegeboard figures.</p>
<p>hallo88: selectivity isn't based on acceptance rate. The acceptance rate for U Chicago is ~40%, though they're about as selective as Duke, etc.</p>
<p>U Chicago is an aberration. In general, acceptance rate is a pretty decent indicator of selectivity. Although, I do agree that there's quite a bit of self-selection going on for OOS such that the acceptance rates are closer than they should be.</p>
<p>U Chicago isn't an exception at all. What about Caltech? Pomona? Swarthmore? All of these colleges have about a 20% acceptance rate yet have SAT score ranges comparable to Harvard's (and in some cases higher than Harvard's).</p>
