Doener, that’s incorrect–Stanford’s founding documents specify that it will maintain a certain percentage of California students in its undergraduate student body; I believe it’s about 40%. However–in practice it isn’t easier to be admitted to Stanford from California than from most other states, because a gigantic number of California students apply every year. It’s also worth noting that Stanford’s peer schools tend to have similar concentrations of students from their own geographic regions, since they typically feel an allegiance and a loyalty to their locales and want to reciprocate the support.
