Not quite sure why you're asking this question, steiny - the schools most definitely do not have a quota system based on in-state/out-of-state, nor would anyone be at a disadvantage in applying to either Kellogg or Haas coming from another state. Haas in particular has been actively recruiting candidates from further away than the SF Bay Area - it's common for students to fly in from LA and Seattle. Similarly, the Wharton EMBA program in SF attracts students from all across the country.
The good news is that both of these schools are much less competitive for applicants interested in their P/T programs. If you're up for the grueling experience of commuting in from a distant location (and you can convince the adcom that you're serious about it and committed to doing it) then there's no reason they'd pass you up. It can make for a *very* challenging MBA experience however!!! Doing bschool while holding down a job is hard enough; trying to do both in different cities can be a lot to juggle. Obviously these are both very good programs though, so it could also be totally worth it!!!!!
Best of luck,
