@paul2752 I am assuming you are asking for proof that this is happening at UC’s. Take a look at UC Berkeley’s class profile: http://admissions.berkeley.edu/studentprofile. As you can see, there is only a 2.5% difference in acceptance rate between in-state and out-of-state students. International make up for nearly 10% of those admitted. Compare Berkeley’s acceptance stats to UNC, a similarly prestigious but PUBLIC school. http://admissions.unc.edu/apply/class-profile-2/ Look at that: 52% of in-state students admitted versus 19% out-of-state. That’s how public universities SHOULD work. They have an obligation to provide in-state-students that are qualified (MANY who are rejected are completely qualified) an affordable and in-state education.
