So I know that there are certain schools that have an in-state bias in terms of percentage of interviews in-state vs. Out of state. Does this bias typically carry over to acceptance rate?

Most schools accept 2-3x the number of seats they have. You can basically calculate the advantage that ISers have by looking at the # IIs vs applicants, and then the # seated to IIs.

So yeah, the advantage to ISers will apply to accepts.

On the other hand, some applicants have an instate bias and given a choice between an OOS school and instate, they'll choose instate. So, matriculants reflects both school preference and admitted student preference.
