The public colleges in CA have major issues, so they are hungry for more out of state, and even country students. Easy source of money to make up for the budget cuts. My daughter is trying to add classes at a CA public college and she is having a horrible time getting the classes she wants. And since UC's use essays and soft measurements for 50% of their acceptance criteria, I am not surprised that Asian American students are being accepted at lower rates. What I heard was 2011 was the worst year yet for college acceptances per a college councilor I know. And the acceptances did not make sense (a student got into UC Berkeley, but rejected by UCSD?).
