  • Answer:

    UCLA is a state-supported university and therefore gives preference for in-state applicants. On average, UCLA accepts about 12% of out-of-state applicants; altho for Fall 2008 UCLA admitted close to 18% of out-of-state applicants. USC is a private college and does not give preference to applicants based on state of residence.

Wow! You chose two amazing schools. I havent been to USC, but UCLA is a beautiful campus and a really great school. But i do hope you realize how COMPETITIVE they are to get into. I agree with the first post about how they do like out of state, up to an extent. You need to have a high GPA (over 3.8 unweighted) and your SATS should be over 2000. While they do like out of state, they are harder on the requirements for you. They may take a student in California with an SAT of 1900, and reject someone from out of state that has 1950. So as an out of state, just set your goals high and apply!

The reason why public universities like out of state kids is because they have to pay a much higher tuition. As for private colleges, it's not much of an issue. They may favor out of state students because it increases diversity among the student body.
