[quote=Anonymous]For a lot of this will depend on where you are from and the opportunities available in your state.  Take the DMV area for example, DC based kids are most likely not going to select a DC school so are headed elsewhere and places like Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Illinois are potentials destinations, as well as big Southern schools.   MD kids like the flavor of UMCP but not everyone is going to get in, so they look at many of the same schools as the DC kids.  VA kids, particularly those in NOVA may avoid W&M and UVA because they don't want NOVA II so look at the big out of state flagship for the traditional college experience.

If the out of state schools are going to offer discounts to bring costs in line with state schools kids and parents will take the chance and head out of state.  In an era of tightening state budgets, with less and less money spent on higher education, schools are going to do what they need to do to survive.   It probably won't be long before schools like UNC begin to admit a higher percentage of out of state residents.

Yes, there will be winners and losers in this game of musical chairs, but it will become more and more common.[/quote]
