“Okay, maybe it’s because I’m a CA resident and it’s ridiculously easy to get into Berk and UCLA for us or something”

No, it isn’t. People claim that it is because they sometimes see some “stupid” people getting in, but they’re very, very difficult now. People with 2250+ or 2300+, great GPA, great ECs, etc. get rejected more and more often.

“I can’t imagine UCB and UCLA being Stanford and Harvard level for OOS. That’s just bs. The difference in admission isn’t THAT bad.”

Not imaginative, eh? Check out the ‘actual results’ threads and the stats profiles; I’ve seen many really awesome OOSers get rejected. (More than a few times I’ve seen people get into Stanford but not Berkeley.)

People really underestimate how difficult it is to get into the top UCs (which have 45k+ applicants, so they have to be selective).
