I'm from NC but considering applying to some California schools. Does anybody know if California schools (UCLA and UCSD) give preference to in state students?

I would imagine any state school would give a slight preference to in state applicants.

UCLA has 86% instate matriculants
UCSD has 92% instate matriculants

Although this doesn't say exactly the breakdown of acceptances, you can get a decent idea about the prefs.

 

[tank you]

also, seeing as how those two are top-25 schools, im guessing you must be a very competetive oos from a "good" university.

Yes, they do.

Now go away, we have too many applicants as it is. You're allowed to apply to Stanford though.

Sorry to replay the broken record here, but the important peice of advice that you are missing here - GET AN MSAR AND READ IT. Instead of asking total strangers for questionably accurate advice about something this important - do your homework.

Oh - and to answer your original question, CA schools don't even take Californians, they only take a specially bred group of mutants raised on Mars. I am hoping this googly-antenna headband I am wearing will give me a shot.

So, I guess I found the answer myself... although I'm not sure I believe it due to the in state % of matriculants. UCLA does not give preference to in state applicants (quoted from their site) and UCSD does.
