i go to Taipei American School and 14/59 were accepted to UCLA and 5/45 to UC Berkeley; the acceptance to UCLA is actually about the same, maybe abit higher for international and out of state. The reasons may be 1. there are fewer ppl applying from out-of-state/international 2. the applicant pool is stronger because most international students who want to study abraod have a very strong academic background.

i have noticed also that many ppl accepted by UCLA were accepted by UC Berkeley and some ppl who are heading to UC Berkeley were rejected by UCLA. different schools look for different things…
