In-State versus Out-of-state admissions chances

<p>My daughter is considering Berkeley for engineering. She's from the East Coast. How much better are an applicant’s chances if they are from out-of-state? She has strong SATs (>2300) but a few B+s on the transcript (her school has severe grade deflation). Strong math/science with Calc BC, physics, etc.</p>

<p>Also, I've read some post about the school getting run down and being somewhat grimy. Is this becuase of budget cuts? Do out-of-state students feel like they're getting their moneys worth?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Good data. Looks like the percent admit for 2012 was the same. Any data on average SATs/GPAs/etc for in-state versus out-of-state?</p>

<p>Here’s a press release that vaguely describes the SAT/GPA/EC situation when comparing in-state and OOS students:</p>

<p>Thanks - any thoughts from OOS students on whether they’re getting their money’s worth at Cal?</p>
