<P>Three University of California campuses, including UC Berkeley, are offering
admission to far fewer California residents than they did two years ago, while
out-of-state admissions are rising, according to numbers for next fall's
freshmen class released Monday.</P>
<P>All UC campuses offered admission to more California residents than
nonresidents, 78 to 22 percent, on average, including international students.
<STRONG>But the trend at the Berkeley, San Diego and Riverside campuses reflects
a new willingness by the UC regents to enroll more higher-paying students from
outside the state. </STRONG></P>
<P>Nonresidents pay about $35,000 versus $12,000, including campus fees. </P>
<P>UC Berkeley is offering admission to 17 percent fewer California residents
than in 2009: from 11,184 to 9,303. </P>
<P>At the same time, its out-of-state offers have nearly tripled since then:
from 1,026 to 2,920.</P>
<P>Offers to international students rose from 743 to 2,022. </P>
<P>Fewer than 10 percent of nonresidents are expected to enroll, said Pamela
Burnett, interim director of UC admissions. That would be up from 6.5 percent
this year. </P>
<P>"These are very difficult times for the university," Burnett said, noting
that requests for admission have never been higher, even as state funding will
drop by at least $500 million next year. </P>
<P>UC received 106,186 applications for next fall's freshman class. It accepted
more than two-thirds: 59,288 applicants from California, 7,755 from out of
state, and 5,389 international students. </P>
