[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been through this with two of my kids in state.

The top 5% of each public high school gets automatic admission. Even then, none of them are guaranteed their first choice major. They all find out they are “accepted” a few days after they submit their applications in the fall with a transcript showing that they’re in the top 5% as of the end of junior year, but they don’t find out their major usually until January or February. Some do find out before this, but not most.

This is why the acceptance rate is like 30% or whatever. I would say half the kids who are accepted don’t attend because they didn’t get their desired major or can’t afford it or what have you.

75% of the class must be in state residents.

Business, engineering, and computer science are all extremely competitive both in and oos.

Do you know if the hot majors have a larger % of oos students? I assume the 75% requirement is for the university as a whole? Thanks.[/quote]
