for out of staters, please don’t refer to my state as “Cali”



Way to steer off-topic. For the record, you don’t own the state of California, and residents of the other 49 states also have a right to free speech and can call California whatever the heck they want.

Anyway, the past few years it’s been about 21%. I guess this year it’s 20%, compared to 23.6% overall (which would probably mean around 25% for instate). The percentages are actually pretty close but there’s also a bit of self-selection going on meaning OOS applicants tend to have somewhat better stats on average. Yes I have heard of accounts of applicants applying OOS to Berkeley and rejected while accepted at a place like Stanford or an Ivy. I don’t think these cases are common but they happen.
