Resident and Non-Resident Admission Rates  

While few schools report admission rates by residency, we've identified 20-25 institutions in our coverage universe that do.  Within that pool, we've found a handful of cases—UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Cruz, UNC Chapel Hill and the University of Virginia—where the rate differences are pronounced enough to impact how College Kickstart categorizes the school as part of the list check. This release adds resident and non-resident options for these institutions. Learn more
