<p>Not exactly a chance thread, but relates to many chance threads. Obviously, the OOS applicants are held to a higher standard than in-state students and I was just wondering, as an in-state student, how much it differs. For example, are there any statistics on the average GPA/SAT for in-state students compared to OOS students? I would assume that the OOS averages are higher so how much would the average be lower for in-state students?</p>
<p>Basically, how much of an advantage does an in-state student truly have?</p>
<p>bump…I never can get any answers around here… :(</p>
<p>Never found one like it for Cal, but for UCLA…
This is 2010

<p>EDIT- also would like to know how much the average GPA/scores would be affected if you don’t consider engineering, which is going to have higher qualifications than those accepted without engineering as well as whether UC Berkeley’s unweighted GPA is freshmen through junior or just A-G sophomore and junior years as it seems to be on UCLA’s profile of admitted freshmen.</p>
<p>bump…would be nice to get an answer to orig. question as well as question above this post.</p>
<p>I think things have changed, and it’s hard to know what this year will bring, but from what I can tell, applicants from OOS might apply with higher average stats, but the official word is, they are judged the same way, and do not NEED higher stats to get in. There might be OOS admission rates for Cal out there somewhere, and maybe admit rates by school (i.e. of engineering) but I think Google would be a better approach.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve tried googling, with not much success. On CAL’s website it says that in-state applicants get first priority, so I would assume that means that for 2 equal/very similar students, the in-state student would get in. So, yes they don’t need higher stats, but on average I am nearly positive they are going to have a higher GPA, but I have no idea how much higher. Same with for the impacted programs. Basically, I’m just asking as an in-state student that wouldn’t apply for the impacted programs, how much lower would the average statistics be to compare myself to?</p>
