<p>Speaking for the UC’s in general, I find it refreshing that they are admitting more OOS students. I think this will create a more attractive student body because giving Californians this in-state advantage allows less qualified applicants into the admitted pile. There are only so many qualified applicants in one state so adding on some OOS students is a great idea because it allows more deserving individuals into the UC system (the oos tuition is only a plus IMO). All of this crap about deserving to get in because your parents pay taxes in California is BS. You deserve to get in if you have achieved something in high school, your taxes mostly goes into other programs than the UC’s (for example, UCLA is only like 20% publicly funded).</p>
<p>The UC’s are going in the right direction.</p>
