The whole notion that it is “harder” for Californians to get in is silly. It is very hard for ANYONE to get into a school with 10% acceptance rate. And if the acceptance rate for Californians is lower, it is because everyone and their brother there are applying to Stanford, regardless of qualifications, driving down the admittance statistics. ~40% of Stanford students are from California.
