Are the acceptance rates for OOS students a closely guarded secret, or is this information available somewhere? I’m looking for actual percentages, not just general statements about how it is harder to get into School X as an OOS student. I’m particularly interested in the Big Ten schools, U. Washington, U. Oregon, U. Colorado, U.Mass, and the U. of California system.
Examples:
Washington:

Freshman admission, autumn 2017
WA Residents: 59.2%
Nonresidents: 41.5%
UC:
For UC, high school GPA (recalculated) is by far the most important factor. See http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1903428-faq-uc-historical-frosh-admit-rates-by-hs-gpa.html . However, the UC web page linked from there lets you see admission rates by residency (though not residency and GPA).
Different admission rates by only residency may not be that useful, since the strength of applicant pools may differ between the in-state residents and non-residents.
Thanks, UWfromCA and ucbalumnus. Since this info isn’t in the common data sets, it is not so easy to find (if anyone has links to the other colleges in my OP, I’d appreciate it). I realize that the in-state and OOS pools will differ, but it’s still valuable to know the rates for OOS, especially when the numbers are dramatically different. For example, the OOS acceptance rate for UC-Davis is considerably higher than for California applicants according to UWfromCA’s link. That does not mean it is easier to get in for OOS students, given the low percentage of OOS students matriculating overall, but it’s still a key part of the overall picture.
