- UC acceptance rates are shockingly low (March 29, 2018)
- acceptance rate (1997, 2007 & 2017) for each of the UC campus
- UC Merced, UC Riverside and UC Santa Cruz, still accepted over 50 percent of applicants in 2017
- A very noticeable jump is the 13-fold increase in international students‘ applications, and their rate of acceptance has soared as well. In 1997, 2,019 international students applied to be freshmen at UC schools and 798 (39.5 percent) were accepted. In 2017, 27,193 applied and 18,067 (66.4 percent) were accepted.
- State’s public colleges chasing out-of-state students, tuition (July 9, 2016)
- The UC system relied on state money for almost a quarter of its budget as recently as 2002 but that figure is 9 percent in 2016, after $1 billion in cuts.
- According to the College Board, the average cost of attending a four-year public university, including room and board, increased from $11,655 in 2000 to $19,548 in 2015, in inflation-adjusted dollars.
- In California, nonresident enrollment has been about 15.5 percent on UC campuses overall, but as high as 29 percent at the marquee campus, Berkeley.
- University of Alabama, where the student body of 37,000 is more than 50 percent nonresident
- Of the out-of-state undergraduates at Alabama’s Tuscaloosa campus, more than 3,000 receive merit aid in the form of free or discounted tuition — an average of $19,000 per student. In 2015, the university gave $100 million in merit aid.
