<p>All the UCs say that they give CA residents priority (and CCC applicants transfer priority), but again, you can dice the stats anyway you like and you will get different results. It is possible to support an overall goal while still manipulate some aspects of the sub-goals to fit certain agenda. I’m not saying that Haas has some secret scheme to dominate the world (altho it may very well be on its way), I would just caution against taking what the UCs say at face value (or take anything anyone says at face value for that matter).</p>
<p>For Haas admissions, academic preparation is extremely important (that is why average CCC transfer admit rate is around 7%, a lot of students are considered ineligible due to missing requirements). CCC applicants have a better chance of meeting the eligibility requirements because the courses are mostly available (if you attend multiple CCC, you have a very good shot of getting all your reqs done) and that is why you will see a much higher percentage of acceptances going to CCC applicants. But what I am saying is that, assuming all requirements are complete, Haas will pick whoever has the right “fit” regardless of whether the applicant is CCC or OOS/International. The fact that majority of the OOS/international applicants would be ineligible due to missing requirements is just a very happy coincidence for the CCC applicants.</p>
