Is it true that the UCs rarely accept OOS?

<p>I'm from Minnesota... >_></p>

<p>yes its true... they very rarely accept out of state students.</p>

<p>very very very very very very very very very very very very very rarely</p>

<p>The UCLA acceptance rate for OOS students is usually a little bit lower than the in-state acceptance rate though the OOS pool is stronger. Search for threads started by the user "flopsy" and you should find stats and figures about the two pools. I also suggest searching for threads entitled "Decisions" within the UCLA forum - you will find stats. </p>

<p>An interesting number is that 10% of the incoming freshman class is OOS and 3% are int'ls. </p>

<p>-An OOSer who isn't directly answering your question but is nevertheless helpful</p>

<p>my roommate is from minnesota.</p>

<p>Even if admitted, I think that tuition is 4x as much as instates?</p>

<p>No. <a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/budget.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>its about 25k(just for the tuition part)</p>

<p>UCLA is admitting more out-of-state freshman students than ever before.
The Class of 2006 is 13% out-of-state or international.</p>

<h2>In-state admit rate: 25.83%</h2>

<p>Out-of-state admit rate: 27.05%
International admit rate: 22.61%</p>

<p>Hmm...based upon Flopsy's figures, I'd say you're very very very very very very very very very wrong. </p>

<p>But I suppose that 27.05% is way more rare than 25.83%.</p>

<p>Wait a sec...</p>

<p>Well, there are fewer OOS applicants than in-state. So it looks like chances are slightly higher because there are fewer admits, but the NUMBER of OOS admits is certainly a lot less.</p>

<p>Either way, it's not like the UCs admit OOSers only "very very....very rarely."</p>

<p>I've met quite a lot of OOS and international transfers
well, more than I expected</p>

<p>I only knew a few, myself. I think the UCs should work harder for those cash cows!</p>

<p>8/9 students from my school got accepted and only two decided to come here (I'm from Maryland). It's not that it's much harder for OOS students to get in, it's just a lot more expensive...</p>

<p>My total cost for this year is $40,001. </p>

<p>I still have no idea how that extra dollar got there...</p>

<p>Great! I'm applying :D</p>

<p>I have quite a few friends who got accepted there(from OoS) with not-so-stellar applications, so I think that although it is harder to get in from OoS, it's not by all that much.</p>

<p>I plan on applying from OOS...but i'm afraid because I have like no great EC's...</p>
