[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be happy if they took zero out of state or international students. [/quote]

OOS PP here.  I understand however if that ever happened the General Assembly would have to contribute a whole lot more to these schools than they do currently.
I also believe it benefits these institutions in many ways to have a geographically varied student body, even with a quota limiting its extent.
But as you are a taxpayer and as you no doubt have experienced some great VA students be denied, I can't blame you for the sentiment.[/quote]

There is no demonstrable benefit to admitted OOS students other than financial. (Is a kid from Nebraska really that different from another kid from Virginia?)

But you as an OOS PP have no doubt experienced your kid getting denied, and I can understand you being butthurt about it.[/quote]

I don't think we disagree a whole lot. [b]Every year it seems more and more great VA students are denied admission to their own state schools,[/b] and I think that is pretty rough, considering you all are taxpayers.   I agree with the quotas my state has too, and also wish the legislature would fund better.  I was an OOS at a VA university and my child will be next year.  If VA would go the way of UNC with limiting OOS even more, it would be understandable.  [/quote]
If "great VA students" are getting denied "to their own state schools," I'm going to guess they aren't applying to enough of them.

90% to 100%: GMU, Longwood, ODU, Radford, VCU, VSU, community colleges 
80% to 90% - CNU, JMU, NFU, UMW, UVA Wise

Because SCHEV person is probably starting their engines, county by county % here: https://research.schev.edu/enrollment/b8_admissions_locality.asp[/quote]
