[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends.  For my grad school (UVA) apparently out of state kids get treated like in-state kids for acceptance.  Might be an even bigger help since OOS would be full pay.[/quote]

I've heard that as well but it doesn't ring true since the school is bound to keep OOS kids at 1/3 of the students. Could they really count alum kids in the 2/3rd for in-state? Seems very unlikely. [b]Or does it mean they hold the alum kids to the lower in-state admission standards even if they are including them in the OOS pool[/b].[/quote]

That.  From an interview last year:

While legacy admission has come under more intense scrutiny at colleges and universities around the country in recent years, we plan to maintain our current model, in which out-of-state legacy applicants are treated as if they are Virginians. The offer rate for Virginians to the University was 44 percent this year, the non-Virginian offer rate was 24 percent. There is a significant advantage to being a Virginian in our review. [/quote]
