[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think the story is the same in most every state. In-state tuition is a major draw and students compete for limited seats. Some states require their public schools to take a larger percentage of in-state students compared to oos, but that doesn't reduce the competition. The bar for admittance will be higher from the strongest public school districts in the state as opposed to the weaker districts or maybe even oos students.

I suspect there are some states in the US where the competition plays out differently for a variety of reasons, but I've lived in 4 highly populated states (FL included) with strong public universities and have a kid in school in a 5th state with competitive public universities and the story is the same in each place I've lived. So I would say at first glance as a resident, no, it won't be easier to get your kids into UT or A&M than it would be to get them into UF or FSU - in either state, your kid would need to be one of the top students in their school.
