The estimates above by nschuchert and kyledavid80 are good ones, so I won’t bother giving mine.

Here are the OOS enrollment numbers at some of the UC schools to understand how tough it can be getting in as an OOS student:

UC Berkeley: 11% (they have the highest rate mostly because this is the one everyone from OOS wants to go to–especially for engineering and business–and because if you are going to attend a UC and pay the top dollars (OOS tuition is $25,000), you probably want to go to the top school)

UCLA: 5%
UCSD: 2%
UCI: 3%
UCD:2%
UCSB: 5%
UCSC:3%
UCR: 1%

P.S. There are no automatic admit from OOS–although there is a admission program by test scores only program–which applies equally to those in and out-of-state. Lastly, I don’t think you are going to see anyone on here suggest illegal methods for trying to work around existing state laws on in-state residency status–and if you did, I’m sure their comments would be removed almost immediately by the admins.
