How much harder is it for an out-of-stater to be admitted into a UC?

<p>All the UCs give preference to CA residents. In general, as an OOS aplicant, you’d want to be comfortably above ‘average’ for each campus. They do consider other factors so, it isn’t that simple.</p>

Not sure where your stats on UCB came from. As you can see from the link above, the average SAT for UCB admits is very close to 2100 and avg GPA is nearly 4.2. (that’s a somewhat capped GPA- i believe 4.4 is the theoretical max)</p>

<p>If you are well above that mark, congrats! nice work.</p>
