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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Chill out … it (UCB) is just shorthand to standardize across the UC system when referencing the campuses. Your California resident card doesn’t get revoked for using UCB here.

But by the way, that’s how the administrative faculty of the campus often refer to it (in keeping with the UC convention), so …

I have literally never heard anyone call it UCB. I’m from Northern Cal with many relatives & friends who attended.

Fantastic! Google “UC Berkeley and UCB” and learn something today, then.
