[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general (i.e., not major specific) , I would only consider the following OOS publics:

UCLA: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are below 13%.

UC Berkeley: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are below 15%.

UVA: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are both below 25%.

UF: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are both below 25% (plus OOS COA is low).

Georgia Tech: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are both below 28%.

That’s it …

Michigan, UNC, Texas, and Washington? Yeah, I’m not paying OOS tuition for any school that accepts nearly 40% of its in-state applicants.

Wisconsin, Indiana, Maryland? Not a chance.[/quote]
UCs are test blind. UMich is a better option due to that. UMich, UVa, UNC, UT, GT are good OOs only for a few majors. Others go private or instate. [/quote]

Michigan is test optional, so the applicants with deficient test scores can just as easily hide (since that’s your theory of UC applicants - which is idiotic, by the way).

Additionally, though acceptance rates are obviously not the only thing to consider (or even among the Top 10 things to consider), there’s no amount of money that I WOULDN’T wager on the proposition that the Top 10 - 15% of in-state students accepted at UCLA and Cal are SUBSTANTIALLY more capable than the Top 40% of in-state students accepted at UM.[/quote]
