I recently saw UCLA’s 2014 transfer profile that 60 out of 604 out of state applicants were accepted and 134 out of 1477 students from U.S. schools outside calfiornia were accepted. What causes the difference between the numbers? Out of state and schools outside of California appear to mean the same thing and yet yield different numbers. Can anyone explain?



@ccstudentIL It looks to me like that top table (where you got the 60/604) is referring to applicants’ residency rather than where their schools are, since the categories are “California residents”, “out-of-state”, “international”, etc. The note underneath even explains that most of the “international” applicants are currently attending California community colleges.

The bottom table is “By School Transferring From”, not by place of permanent residence. So the 134/1477 presumably includes California residents and international students who are attending schools in other states.
