[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- The top 20 national universities will be seen as peers. HPY will lose some prestige, while schools like Chicago, Duke, and Vanderbilt will become their peers.

- The best SLACs (not including the military academies) will grow in stature and size as more kids want a quality education - not just a name - and STEM requires more economic scale.

- The best state universities will also become more coveted, grow, and accept more OOS students. 50% OOS will become the norm for these schools. [/quote]

Very few SLACS have the infrastructure or the desire to expand. I agree that the top 20 are becoming indistinguishable from one another.  Finite number of seats available, yet growing and insatiable demand for them is a recipe for the top to get toppier.  In 20 years, maybe South Carolina or Clemson might be looked at how we view UVA today.

The privates have an inherent advantage when it comes to international students.  There will always be political blowback facing state schools who admit too many internationals, with the argument that these students are taking seats away from residents.  NYU, BU, Northeastern, USC don't have that constraint.
