[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?  Nah.  In-state is fine.  Paying OOS tuition so your DC can take the same class as community college transfers? No.  [/quote]

Why would you automatically assume the DC is a better student than the cc transfer?   Every single state university has a program that allows automatic admission  to students with at least a 3.4 GPA.

[u]Here is UVAs statement [/u]..” The University of Virginia (UVA) offers seamless transfer pathways for community college graduates, most notably through the Guaranteed Admission Agreement (GAA) with the Virginia Community College System (VCCS)”

[u]Here’s a very generous program that UT Austin has[/u] …” If you are currently at Austin Community College (ACC), look into the ACC PACE Program. This co-enrollment program allows you to take classes at ACC while living on the UT campus, with a guaranteed path to full-time admission to UT Austin after your first year if you meet program requirements.”

Stop being ignorant.
