<p>I'm a Filipino and I will be applying to UCB and some top private schools in the US. is it harder than OOS or just the same. I'm interested in Economics and/or business?</p>
<p>It is a lot harder for international applicants to be admitted to Berkeley especially if you need financial aid- because Berkeley doesn't offer any. The stats for both out of state applicants and instate residents are listed on Berkeley's website- i'm too lazy to post the link. The admit rate for OOS is 20% compared to 25% instate. Private schools do offer some financial aid for internationals but although it is better than Berkeley's, it is still very limited.</p>
<p>Berkeley is very good for Economics- I have two friends who are majoring in Economics at Berkeley and they seem pretty happy with the department. Best of luck for all your applications.</p>
<p>I'm interested on this too. Can someone show the average SAT and GPA of those admitted in the business school (undergrad and grad) and economics (undergrad)? thanks</p>
