[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 [b]13%[/b].

UC Berkeley: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are below [b]15%[/b].

UVA: In-state and OOS acceptance rates are both below [b]25%[/b].

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

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

That’s it …

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

Wisconsin, Indiana, Maryland? Not a chance.[/quote]
So you base school selection on acceptance rate? Thats weird. [/quote]

Reading is fundamental!

I said that I’d only CONSIDER those school as an OOS applicant. That consideration would affect the range of choices I’d have when I’d make a SELECTION, sure, but dismissing acceptance rates altogether is as myopic as pretending that rankings don’t matter.[/quote]
