[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flip side to UC systems being so great is that admissions is basically a lottery for high stat kids in high performing areas which is really frustrating for families in the Bay Area, LA and some parts of SD. It’s flipped where lower stat OOS kids breeze in while perfect stat kids get the lowest rung. I was shocked at how many perfect stat kids with great ECs were flat out rejected from even the mid tier UCs.

If private colleges were not so outrageously expensive, there wouldn’t be the intense pressure on the UCs.[/quote]

Not sure about the "OOS kids breeze in"; It's a claim I've seen on DCUM before but no one's ever posted a citation to confirm it.  If not a citation - what made you come to that conclusion?[/quote]

Look at UCSD. 2024 OOS was 34%, instate was 26%. At our public high school, the rate is 6%. UCD is a better example OOS was 60%, instate 34%, our school was 9%. [/quote]

For UCSD I'm seeing 9% OOS and 16% international. https://ir.ucsd.edu/stats/publications/21_22_StudentProfiles.pdf
For UCD I'm seeing 4.0% OOS and 10.4% international. https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/uc-davis-enrollment-makes-progress-diversity[/quote]
You are looking at the breakdown of the student population by geographic origin. The PP was looking at admit rates. [/quote]
