<p>Cosar, that’s good reasoning, but it ignores one thing: there is a disproportionate number of admits from a rich area like the Bay Area, especially from towns like Palo Alto. Places like Sacramento and Fresno will have far less admits per capita, so to speak, than the Bay Area. </p>
<p>LA and the Bay Area always dominate college admissions in California, and so I would guess the real number would be around 20, or about 30% of total California admits.</p>
