What is UCLA OOS comparable to admissions-wise?

<p>I am out-of-state, and was really surprised that I got accepted; I was told by my counselor (who is no expert on the UC's) that you had to be HYP quality to get in from outside Cali. I know that that's not true, but what would be a close comparison for difficulty of admissions for an OOS'er?</p>

<p>Schools look for different things. You can't just say UCLA oos=_____, because among all the top schools its a crapshot. You could be an instate student that gets into Harvard but is denied at UCLA, or you could get into UCLA and not get into UC Santa Cruz.</p>

<p>I agree. I should have mentioned that I'm just looking for generalizations, or what should happen. All of your scenarios could happen, but are unlikely (at least I think).</p>

<p>UCLA OOS admission is ~21%, which I think is on par with UPenn and Dartmouth</p>

<p>i was under the impression that your chances are much better oos, due to the low overall matriculation from oos.</p>

<p>same rate as cornell for this year</p>

<p>I should've added a congratulations in there too. You and your family should be very proud.</p>

<p>With the dramatic increase in out-of-state and international applicants to UCLA/UCB this year, I would expect the Fall 2006 out-of-state admission rate to dip below 20% for the first time... :rolleyes:</p>

<p>here is a very detailed breakdown of UCLA admissions, although it's from last year:</p>

<p>If you make UCLA out of state, you are probably good enough to make an even more prestigious private university, Ivy League perhaps.</p>

<p>smokeylarue, i am taking your word on that. lol. i hope you're right. i still dont know how i got into ucla as an OOS.</p>

<p>tuke, congrats--oos is crazy competitive</p>
