[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OOS yield is only 16% at UVA. [/quote] Let's assume this is true. [b]So what.[/b] The kids who want to attend don't give a shit about OOS yield, and their families apparently are able to make it work financially. Please move on and let interested families discuss their results.   [/quote]
If you really think about it longitudinally, it means UVA is on the long-term decline because 1) it is too reliant on oos kids for budgeting purposes and 2) it is charging a private school tuition that these kids think is not worth it. Something will have to give if UVA will maintain its level of prestige. The writing is on the wall — and some people can read it better than others.[/quote]

Michigan is highly reliant on OOS kids for budgeting purposes and that has saved it from decline.   I think the most probable reason for a relatively low OOS yield is net price.  For an OOS applicant, they will likely either have an offer from their state institutions at a much lower net price (and may get merit/honors) or offers from privates that are providing better net price and financial aid packages than UVA.  Many top privates have replaced loans with grants.  UVA, although need blind, focuses more on in-state net price, which makes sense given it is a state institution.[/quote]
