[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also this- DC can go in early March for scholarship interviews…
 … a small number of students will receive notification of their decision in February. Most of these students will be nominees for Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarships, a process that has traditionally been initiated during this time of year … majority of first-year applicants still will receive their decisions at the end of March, via the MAP@Berkeley portal.

Yes. My kid had the interview and received the " Regents' scholarship " few years ago as an OOS VA student.

Admissions director told me that only about 19 OOS/international students receive the scholarship each year after the early admission and the interview.

My recollection is that about 250 in total receive the scholarship so about 9% for OOS/internationals. [/quote]

As a Californian, mixed feelings about OOS kids getting a Regents, but my guess is that most will stay in California permanently, so it’s a net gain for the state. [/quote]

OOS kids pay 3 times the tuitions and partially subsidize in-state students and OOS kid receiving one of these could have gone to any university in the country and chose to attend Berkeley so there is that as well. [/quote]

I think you’re missing the point. The UC system exists to provide a public benefit to Californians, not to maximize its own prestige. [/quote]

They have dozens of Cal States in addition to UCs for that.

And for comparison purposes:

Berkeley's overall OOS% is about 18-19%,
Michigan's OOS% is about 40%,
UVA's OOS% is about 34%.

Great, glad to see California knows what its *public* institutions funded by California taxpayers are for. For producing educated Californians. [/quote]
