[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is waiting to hear from Michigan and Georgia Tech -- both of which have much lower acceptance rates for OOS applicants and, to varying degrees, enroll a (small) minority of out of state students.

[b]What's the OOS experience like? [/b]Tuition is much higher for OOS and the median OOS student more qualified.  Seems like a bad deal to me, especially if you think that part of what you are paying for is a peer group.  Am I wrong?  [/quote]
[b]DS enjoys CS at UMD alot. [/b]Would have likely attended UVA if accepted, but I think things worked out for the best. [/quote]

UMD accepts the same percentage in state as OOS...I gather it has a much larger OOS population vs. GA Tech.

Michigan also I thought was nearly 50/50 instate vs. OOS.

I wouldn't worry about alumni networks and GA Tech.  They have grads all over the country.  I know a current junior that is interning this Summer in Seattle because companies from all over the country recruit the students.

That said, Atlanta is a cool city and has a vibrant tech scene, so great for that too.[/quote]
