[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OOS applicants with lower grades and test scores getting fall admission to in state flagship while DC got spring admission offer and many friends with comparable qualifications were outright rejected.[/quote] I feel like the state flagships are getting harder to figure out. You will see a good student (maybe one or two Bs rest As in honors classes) rejected from their own in-state option or get spring but will get into an equally as hard, or harder admit as an OOS student elsewhere. At the same time many of the popular OOS schools for DMV students are getting harder to get into for OOS like Wisconsin or Clemson of U of SC. It’s a reminder to apply broadly and don’t count on your own flagship as a safety. I also wonder if as costs of private colleges continue to skyrocket if competition for public colleges will get worse. [/quote]
