[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One, plus service academies (we needed in-state for financial reasons, not actual geographic requirements/preferences).[/quote]

Want to add, I don't really recommend applying OOS to dream schools if you can't afford them or really can't have your child away for whatever reason. You don't want to put them in a situation where they're accepted somewhere they want to attend and can't.[/quote]

My ds's dream school is in-state, but it's a reach. In state safeties and targets he is not thrilled with, just ok.[/quote]

Then search for and find OOS privates/publics that give good merit and your kid likes them.  Find some that your kid loves and should be affordable for you and fall into safe and target category.  They do exist.  
 
If we lived in VA, my kid would be looking OOS.  They wanted engineering.  They want 6-8K students---so both UVA (which is not tops for engineering IMO) and VaTech are out and W&M is not even a consideration.  So they would be searching for OOS privates that meet their criteria.  That's exactly what they did (we live in another state but situation is similar---in state schools are 30K+ students with decent engineering programs). [/quote]
