[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is waiting to hear from Michigan and Georgia Tech -- both of which have much lower acceptance rates for OOS applicants and, to varying degrees, enroll a (small) minority of out of state students.

What's the OOS experience like? Tuition is much higher for OOS and the median OOS student more qualified.  Seems like a bad deal to me, especially if you think that part of what you are paying for is a peer group.  Am I wrong?  [/quote]
Michigan is not a good deal at an average of 82k per year (not 80, as it goes up 4k for upperclassmen). You are paying to say you go to a “top school” which is far easier to get into oos than, say, Texas...if you are paying private school tuition, go private!

Georgia Tech is a whole different animal because oos tuition is 30k less…[/quote]

Which private do you think would appeal to a kid looking at Michigan (and don't say Ivy b/c they want a big school experience)? USC, of course, but their acceptance rate is painfully low.[/quote]

Lots of places that are academically oriented, not tiny, nationally known/ prestigious: Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Duke. Less selective:  NYU, Syracuse, Carnegie Mellon, Tulane etc.[/quote]
