It doesn't seem to add up

UCLA has been saying that it is admitting more out-of-state and international students (who pay full freight) but not cutting back on in-state admissions.  The latest numbers from UCOP, however, tell a different story.  Here are the latest fall freshmen admissions numbers for UCLA:

Fall of          2010       2011       2012
--------------------------------------------
California       9890      10913       9263


Out of State     1819       2313       3049


International    1304       2315       3143
--------------------------------------------
Total           13013      15551      15455


It is true that total admissions are up (relative to 2010) so we are not substituting non-state for in-state students on a one-for-one basis.  But in-state student admissions are down and non-state students are up. There remain students on waitlists and there will be a difference between admissions and actual attendance.
