[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the Big10 schools would fit this description.[/quote]

Which one?  Many are very selective schools especially for OOS[/quote]

B10: Indiana, Michigan State, Penn State 
SEC: Alabama, Ole Miss, Kentucky[/quote]

At my son's convocation at Penn State in 2021, the president of the university said in his speech that the freshman class had students from all 50 states and some huge # of countries (I cannot remember how many.

As for Alabama, I read some recent article about how their head football coach is actually "underpaid," because of all of the OOS students who have been attracted to Alabama due to the football team's success.  It's a decently high percentage of OOS students.[/quote]

Alabama is no longer a safety. If you have a kid in this year’s application cycle, you would know that. Alabama has just completed a seven year academic outreach. According to the president, this year’s application pool is highly competitive. They will be very selective this year. Much like UTK, South Carolina, and Auburn, have slashed their acceptance rates for out of state students. The only safety in the SEC right now is Ole Miss -maybe Kentucky- but their numbers are going to be lower this year as well.[/quote]
