UCLA Admission Rate Higher For OOS; UCs Do Give Grants To OOS Students

<p>Where can we find the statistics? I looked up Cal’s in state vs. OOS recently and remember the OOS rate being higher there too but I can’t seem to find it now.</p>

<p>We’ll have to wait and see what the freshman class profile is for fall 2009. If the OOS admissions rate and the raw number of OOS admits is higher, AND the number of OOS enrollees is significantly higher, I might believe that UCLA is trying to find revenue. Quite frankly, I expect in-state admit rates to be lower because so many people are applying in-state due to finances. And OOS admission rates might need to be higher because fewer OOSers will be able to come up with the funds for UC. </p>

<p>Does OOS revenue go to the campus, the UC system as a whole, or some division between the two?</p>

<p>This is not new. I’ve been posting this in the last few years when I noticed one OOS student posted his stats which were far below the UCstatfinder. UCLA has been doing this for years to raise revenue.</p>

<p>Tokenadult has presented the situation well, IMO. I read somewhere that the stats for some of the SUNYs are similar: more OOS acceptances % wise than in state. But if you look at the % of OOS kids, they are no more than 3-4% of the school. So even if they accepted ALL of the OOS kids applying, it wouldn’t amount to a whole lot. UCLA is sort of like that. Not that many kids apply there from OOS and many who do are special admissions like athletic admits with higher accepts. </p>

<p>The only out of stater I know who applied to Berkeley was a kid who had great stats and was rejected. I don’t know anyone who has applied to UCLA out of state. My son considered it, but he would have gone through an audition process where they do not take into consideration whether you are a state resident or not.</p>

<p>Supplementing the 2008 UC Berkeley stats ^^^ is this prose discussion of the 2009 admission cycle, which indicates this year’s OOS/international acceptance rate is 10%, the overall acceptance rate is 21%. </p>

<p>OK so same admission rate for internationals was the same as in state and 5% under (17 vs 22) for OOS at Cal last year. Will be interesting to see this year’s stats. What the above says is that 10% are OOS, not that they accept 10% of OOS students.</p>

<p>ty, hmom, for catching my bad on the 10%. Reading too fast!</p>
