[quote=Anonymous]People need to understand these current realities: 1) many state schools are being bombarded with tons of OOS applications, but that doesn’t change the number of seats they have to offer. Don’t confuse selectivity and great academics with scarce resources. Also, the number of OOS seats are typically small compared to the number available for in-state. 2) seats in engineering and CS are scarce everywhere. Again, that doesn’t mean your rejected, 1500 SAT kid doesn’t measure up, it’s that too many in-state kids wanted the same chairs. 3) EDing to a reasonable match is the best way to combat this craziness. As more kids apply to 15-20 schools, the madness is getting worse. [/quote]
