In 2013, the UCLA admit rate for California students was 17.87%, the out-of-state admit rate was 33.68%.  So out of staters were nearly twice as likely to be admitted.  The international rate was 20.8%.

Thanks.

The numbers go back 15 years to 1998, but the earliest 5 years or so record some different numbers.

Some interesting bits in there.

You can see the spiralling up of the number of applicants, both in state and out of state. That's gone up far faster than the population of 18 year olds - which is actually starting a temporary down slope.

Trends are hard to find in noisy data, but it appears the out of state admission rate (versus in state) rose after the financial crisis and the brobdingnagian state cuts to UC. My memory is that UC actually said it was going to admit more out of state students to collect higher tuition, but that is a fairly fuzzy memory.

In state vs out of state is a brobdingnagian issue for public universities nationally. Out of state students pay more tuition and are typically stronger (there seems to be some self-selection among those choosing to try for another state's public university) but there is tremendous political pressure to admit in state kids, which is part of a public university's mission. The balance has been changing as states have been pulling out of the business of supporting higher education, with the biggest change in slope on that trend occurring around 2008-09.
