She likes Berkeley, but one thing that scared her a bit about the UC schools was that they’re almost all kids from California. I had thought it was like other states where they try to keep it 50/50 between in state and out of state/international. However, it seems like it’s closer to 80-85% in state at most UC schools… though, I know it’s a little bit less in state at Berkeley (70-75%?) and UCLA (75-80%?)

Yes, the UC schools are capped as to how many OOS students they can accept. https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/press-room/uc-board-regents-approves-policy-nonresident-student-enrollment

Under the policy, the first of its kind at UC, nonresident enrollment will be capped at 18 percent at five UC campuses. At the other four campuses where the proportion of nonresidents exceeds 18 percent — UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UCLA and UC San Diego — nonresident enrollment will be capped at the proportion that each campus enrolls in the 2017–18 academic year.
