<p>Historically, the stats of the OOS wealthy were similar to those of the instate wealthy. In other words, it wasn’t more difficult to get accepted OOS. (What tripped up many OOS’ers was UC’s VAPA requirement.) That being said yes it is now likely that it easier for OOS’er to gain admission, but the differential is miniscule. Of course, UC officially won’t say for political reasons. (But, in a couple of years, it will be easy to use the data on UCStatfinder to manually calculate the stats of OOS’ers, assuming UC continues to post the data – which they may prefer to hide?)</p>
<p>btw: With the exception of a few programs, I’m one of the few on cc who think paying OOS fees for a UC is foolish.</p>
