What does it take to get into Cal-Berkeley out of state?

Like the bare minimums...

...And they don't calculate 9th grade, do they?

WELL
according to their website, and I dont know if this is even true, but they only accept 10% from out of state
which is RIDIC right?!?

but anyway.
the UCs have this method of determining whether or not you'll get in: it's called the UC score
it's this score that you determine based on your test scores, and, by comparing your UC score to your GPA, you can detrmine whether o not you will be admitted
look at this website to determine yor UC score: UC Admissions

love ya!

It's 10% for OOS transfers. For freshman OOS, it's probably under 20% (last year, OOS was 20% and and overall the admit rate was 23%--this year that dropped to 21% or so, so I assume that the OOS admit rate did too). Keep in mind that the OOS pool tends to be more self selective (Berkeley is public and they could go for their own public schools, Berkeley costs as much as a private for OOSers, they probably won't get in, and if they do they probably won't get much aid--this discourages a great many applicants; not to mention Berkeley's requirements for eligibility--especially the a-g course requirements--also bar many OOS students from applying).

I'd say getting into Berkeley OOS is like getting into some of the "lower" Ivies--Dartmouth, Cornell, Penn, etc. It can be very much a crapshoot.

Nonresident Students

The University sets slightly different eligibility criteria for applicants who are not California residents. Nonresident students are not guaranteed admission to UC, even if they meet the eligibility criteria.
